Chipping

Today is Victoria Day here in Canada
and although not sun shiny as we would have liked it,

it was a pleasant day and worthy of outside yard work.

We live on five acres surrounded by many trees

Evergreens mostly but also some leafy ones.

Beautiful they are, but work they require.

Here is one of the piles we make over fall and winter.

The grass under them is almost a foot high!

Here's Hubby up a ladder with his chain saw prunning

some of the branches that have tried to take over.

This Mighty Mac Chipper was a present to me

for my birthday many years ago.

One of the best things I have ever received.

All the branches, all the leaves, all the brambles and pine cones ...

Chipped into glorious mulch for my flower beds or compost.
