Brush Clearing

Yesterday, Buddy and I only intended to drink beer on the last sunny day before the rains. But then he started talking about what branches we'd cut to open up the thicket behind the table, and pretty soon I grabbed some cutters and we started in on it. There was a whole dead tree in there! We pruned back the climbing rose.

And pulled out a lot of weeds. I lit a fire so we could burn the dead stuff up as it came out.

Here you can see how much it opened up. We had to restring the lights to the new perimeter.
