Yesterday was a different story. It is bulk pickup week so pruning was in order. Opening the garage door I took a saw, a pruner, a small clippers and leather gloves. The leather gloves lay on the grass, unused, because I like to get my hands dirty. Crystal was there, "helping", as always.
Sawing away a diseased limb from a dogwood that has been on it's way out since we moved here 14 years ago, I felt strangely like a medicine woman administering a life-saving procedure. Pruning a crabapple that has branches growing "willy-nilly" was simply for aesthetics. Same with the Hemlocks.
Cool Seems fun to do gardening.
