I was always a fan of Garrison Keillor and how he wrote a recurring theme on the weekly show A Prairie Home Companion called News From Lake Wobegon. Keillor would always begin with, "Well, it's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon..." then proceed to tell you the weeks fictional events. That's kind of the template that I use for my Sunday posts, albeit mine is not fictional.
As I have been involved working daily on my lot clearing project for the past few months, the weeks just roll along one after the other with little variation. Basically I get up, I cut wood, I load it into my truck and trailer, I get home and eat, shower, sleep, and repeat. However this week was different because I suffered a quarter pounder. What I mean by that is that a heavy trunk of a large tree that was cutting glances off of my ankle and promptly removed about a quarter pound of my personal leg meat. That left behind a wound about the size of my fist that I promise you, it smarts! On the upside, that is a quick way to lose weight although I recommend not trying to lose much more than a quarter pound at a time. On the downside, and I'm not even going to lie because that did slow me down for a few days. Yes I still went to work on the daily, but winched each step of the way.
The Beautiful Sunday and Sublime Sunday tags are some of my faves! I want to thank
for running the beautiful Sunday tag every week and keeping such detailed stats and supporting the accounts. Also, a shout out to
for the sublime Sunday tag where your random Sunday posts are always welcome!
Note To Self...
I have been saying since the start of this project that I was going to get this job done or die trying. I felt like this week the die trying part was brought to the fore! I feel a certain anxiety about getting this project over and done with because I am fully aware that my clearing the land has brought noise and disruption to the peaceful neighborhood. I want to be a good neighbor so I intend to keep pushing as hard as I can to finish as soon as possible and with the least amount of disturbance.
