Finally .......

 

 Pictures! Not good pictures. I chopped Richard's head off in my attempt to capture the dead tree he took down with his bare (well, gloved ...) hands.

 

 This is the underbrush that was removed for the dog park. Thick, thorny underbrush.

My job was to transport the debris to the dump site.

At the end of day one we have made some serious progress and discovered persimmon trees. Check out that vine wrapping around the tree.

Suddenly the Internet is working!! I doubt Sprint did anything. Maybe it is the freezing temperature .... who knows.

Tomorrow is our annual chili/soup cook-off. I have located the charger for my camera. It was right where I had left it, behind the cash register. I remember leaving it there now after telling myself that I would be sure to remember that location. Left it there again and now I have recorded it. All I need to do now is to remember that I posted it here ....
