Worked all day, yesterday, on cutting down and clearing more trees. Oy. I am so tired. And sore. We took down two more oaks, a maple and a little clump of birches. The oaks were diseased and full of ants again (my SIL tells me that is pretty common around here... who knew?), the maple had been attacked by woodpeckers and was leaking sap year round (and, given the holes, probably had bugs inside, too) and the birches were a casualty of felling the maple.
One oak was felled in the yard (and nearly took out the deck... if it had been two feet longer...), so that was a real pain because we have to clean up every last stick and acorn. DD handled the acorns and sprinkled them liberally around the bird feeders for the vast rodent population that we have. Only hours later, all that was left was gnawed on caps. Happy chippies!
I was so tired, I crawled into bed at 7:30. However, apparently my brain wasn't as tired as my body, so kept me awake -- chattering constantly -- until well after 9:00. Then DD and Dd woke me a 12:30 to go out (well... Dd needed to go out, and I won't let DD go outside at midnight with our weird neighbors) and again at 3 a.m. (this time the dog just wanted to sleep somewhere else, so she and I curled up on the spare bedroom bed). Cat let me sleep until nearly 6, though!! Woot!
In any case, today I play catch up. I have somewhere between 20 - 40 pages to build for LASR next week (that includes reviews), promo, my own personal website has broken buy links (ACK!) and I have two reviews that are due next week and I have only finished one of the books.
So despite being "tarred", I have to work! Hope you all have a great day.

That's alot of trees! We lost a pecan tree last year and the other one looked dead this year, so we'll be taking it out. Hubs wants a maple, but our yard isn't huge. *G*
I hope you get some rest tonight and get everything done you need to today!
I'm tarred just reading about your trees. Good luck with those LASR pages today, and maybe give yourself a little treat tonight, ok?

There's no way we can tell whether you're a man or woman.
Of all the internet users, you are the most broad based in your habits.
You use the internet for research and your career.
But you also use the internet to keep in close touch with your loved ones.
Well, yeah. Though to be honest I kind of thought I'd be closer to you, Marianne. :)
