Happy anniversary to my lovely fiancée, Haley! Sorry I couldn’t be with you to celebrate,
but if all goes according to plan I will be seeing you soon!
We continued where we left off yesterday cutting and spraying Bush
Honeysuckle. This particular area has
received very little care so the invasive plant has grown to the size of small
trees. I had to abandon my loppers for a
handsaw to battle the nuisances—which suited me just fine as sheathing and
unsheathing the blade never gets old!
Uh… yeah, that was pretty much our whole day! There were a couple of really cool rock
formations under some fallen trees that would make a pretty awesome fort or
mock-battle site, but that’s the only other thing that comes to mind.
Upon returning
to our project site’s HQ I washed and oiled my boots. The poor things received some nasty gashes
from all that work with the barbed wire last month, so hopefully this oil will
be just the sort of pick-me-up they need to make it through the rest of this
gauntlet of a year. Now I’m off to hang
out with my team and watch some Harry Potter.
I find it fitting that we are watching Harry embark on his journey
today, the same day I started my epic quest with the love of my life 4 years
ago. Love you Haley. Talk to you all later!
