… but power stayed up but the metal pole at the side of the house was ripped down. Also, no internet.

It was a beautiful Sunday. The masdive rainfall after the heatwave had cooled the atea down. At 11am i decided to finally do the last serious tree work in the backyard. The maddive oak was starting to encroach our hard fought spot in the sun in tbe back. Three bigger branches had to go.

I spent from 3pm to 6:30pm after careful prep in the tree. Ladder basr ascent, otherwise free climb with securing ropes around the tree. Some parts I had to claw myself up the tree and wished I had optrd for the long pants. Who in his rigjt mind would climb a tree in short pants and sleeves. But the harvest was good some parts of my stacked wall needs readjustments and some of our hedges neef time to regrow. Overall a major success, the tomatos survived unscathed.
