What does it say about a man
When I know that chainsaw can fall
On me......
But I cut the branch anyway. Nevermind that I’m standing on a ladder twelve feet in the air.
And sure as hell, the freshly cut butt of that branch came right at my head. I clung to my ladder, and the tree.
Down it all came. The weight of it was so much more than I’d figured. Glad it didn’t take my fence with it.
And the scant little bit of blood on my arm... well that’s just where the saw teeth touched me before I threw it down- all the way down, before it cut off my arm too.
But now the grass can grow again. That vitex tree I planted can bloom again. Now the webworms are gone.
Maybe it’s just that I was aware of the peril I just created, like a stimulant of sorts. And, I’m so pleased with my yard.
But worrying for the safety of my family will make me lose sleep for days.
