Our friend
belen1974 came over and helped with the yard work! The heavy snows this winter brought down some huge
white pine boughs. We were about to hire a company to come with a wood chipper to get rid of them, when I started cutting them up with a hand saw to see if I could. We ended up making a few wood piles, and a huge pile of pine needles and twigs. It was a lot of hard work, but with our friend's help it went pretty quickly, and it felt great not to spend money to do have it done! Then we dug out the knotweed.....
