HOT outside

Whew, so it's in the 90s outside, and I just spent the last couple of hours cutting branches from the big tree over the driveway. The tree leans a bit, and the foliage on the branches had been pulling the tree even more at an angle... made me paranoid, plus the ends of the branches were touching the garage roof. So they had to go (bonus: won't need to rake so many leaves over the next months).

Turns out that cutting through a thick branch isn't as much work as cutting it apart for the city to pick up. So hours of work. Hot and humid. Feel like I'm going to die. Drinking lots of water and sitting around in my underpants (I put up window-covers so the neighbors don't have to see me thus *g*).

Oh, and I also hung a few more pieces of art around the place - including, finally, the David Archer piece that I have up for sale. So, dammit, I'm going to enjoy it! (radcliffe and kijjohnson: I put up a second hanger near the one you put up beside the CDs, so it's right beside the TV in place of the watercolor that you put up). Looks beautiful!

G'day to y'all,
Chris
