Pollarding

Yesterday I was mostly lopping trees.  We have an ash tree in the back yard that has to be ferociously cut back- pollarded in fact- if it's not to eat up all our autumn and winter sun. My electric saw wasn't charged, so I put it on charge for an hour, cut a couple of branches, charged it some more- and so on and on until the job was completed- which took all afternoon and well into the evening.   I think this spasmodic method- short bursts of activity punctuated by hour long rests-  may have spared my poor old bones from getting really shook up.
 
Rabbits adore ash leaves. Who'd have guessed?

It's fun to think about your rabbits in their daily lives--today eating ash leaves. Three of them, all over the house! What a charming image to me.

Your spasmodic sawing reminds me of my spasmodic walking. I can cover about five miles in a single outing as long as I walk where there are benches or outside staircases to sit on when the old aches or fatigue set in. After all, what's our hurry now that we have retired?
