What you are about to read is a true story

Returning to Greensboro inspired by the peace and beauty at my Dad's place in Maine, I decided to take on some projects in the yard.  I will pause here for you to compose yourself, and re-read the last sentence in disbelief. 

It's true... I did yard work. Busted my ass too!  I've got pictures and a body full of scratches to prove it. I don't know where this energy came from, but I spent the past four days on this project.  I am now sore everywhere and exhausted, but I hope to get motivated to do someting in the back yard next, before it gets too hot.  Well, it's kinda already too hot. 

So here we go:

I've still got some work to do, but I'm happy that it looks so much better.

Oh, and while working, I found this: 

I tried not to trim too close to it, but I have not seen mama bird back since I cut near it :(  I hope it's OK.
