And so we begin anew . . .
After a hiatus of several months whilst we adjusted to living with a munchkin in our midst, life is now turning to spring and (thus) to renovations yet again. Work began on the new deck this morning, resulting in the addition of several sturdy posts to the ground around the house. Thankfully, the clay wasn't nearly as soggy as we had feared, so digging the holes for the posts wasn't quite so much of a chore. Thus far, we've got one beam in place (but yet to be bolted together) and a number of the posts dug in and placed.
In addition to this, I have begun yet another round of extreme gardening. I spent all morning in one very small corner of the very large hedge, making a monstrous pile of branches in the trailer, and creating a fairly neat section of hedge (trimmed width-wise, but still out of control in the height department). I've come to the conclusion that my little pruning saw just isn't going to cut it, so tomorrow's pruning will involve the chain saw :-)

If only the Home Depot guy knew that you were proficient in chainsaw use ... might be what it takes for them to take you seriously!
