Not really, it was just this one day when we talked for 1.5 hr catching up. I actually hardly talk on the phone much at all, but when I do, I walk around the house.

7,418 steps yesterday.

Never got to laundry yesterday so that is on the list for today.

Looked at the pruner link you sent Wally, and started reading reviews. It seems like something that would be just right for my needs. I was going out to buy lilacs locally so went to Ace and ended up getting a Craftsman model that will be perfect. About the same price plus they are local for any problems I might have with it and Craftsman has good backup service, the one on Amazon didn't get very good reviews for that!

So home and planted the two new plants and charged up the battery. Today I'll read all the instructions. Every page is two columns of *Warning*, *Caution*, *Danger* sheesh! Then go out and do some pruning!!

Yeah they have to do that for liability because some idiot will cut their finger off being stupid and then sue them.

7,680 steps yesterday.

Yard work! After cutting down all the shoots from the aspen on the side of the garage, they all had to be hauled up to my "burn pile" (the pile my friend will take to her place and they will burn). All the way up to the end of my driveway... After that I was exhausted and didn't even get to the laundry! That will be today's project!

6,757 steps yesterday.

More cutting down small trees, but not as much as Friday. Finally got to my pile of laundry and then had to sit down and rest my bones!! I got so excited about my new pruning shears I overdid just a bit. Today will be a rest day, just gather the garbage for Monday's pick up and do some pricing for the crystal lady's visit on Monday.

6,111 steps yesterday.

Yesterday was a bit of a rest day. My friend came over to bring some chicken wire to re-wrap a big cottonwood that has been gnawed on by beavers. The tree out grew the original one I had put on it 20 years ago. May lose the tree. Cut a few small volunteer tress around the big tree and hauled to her truck.

We then loaded about half of the trees I had cut down previously into her truck. By then we were tired and hot so came in a watched videos of my mom's house that my brother sent. Looks a bit like the homes you see on Hoarders! So sad.

We're planning on the loading up the rest of the tree trimmings/cuttings today and that is all I have planned for the day!!

5,759 steps yesterday.

My friend and I were both feeling all the work from Sunday, so decided not to load the rest of the burn pile yesterday. So it was kind of a day of rest for both of us! I did some puttering around in the house and worked on pricing more crystals just to get ahead a bit.

Today will probably be a light day too given the rain outside and time spent with the crystal lady. I feel pretty good so inside walking is on the agenda.
