More Backyard


More Backyard

On your far left, the gong, fallen over.
Little to the right of that, a sawhorse.
In the center, the chipper, silent now.
Off to your left we see the tarp.

Chipper got jammed up with some very stringy vine
and I had to take it apart to get it cleared.
We quit working after that.

This could have all been done in a couple hours
if we had wanted to pay the young guys to do it
when they cut the stuff,

but two weeks for a pair of old folks
(combined age 134 years)
an hour or two at a time when we felt like it.
