When you live in the midst of the Mark Twain National Forest.....the forest tends to take over if you don't fight it back.
As i am mowing the edges of the studio property i am constantly bending over under trees or going around something that is growing out of bounds. i hate to mow too close....i can't see if there are rocks or large pieces of wood or whatever under there. not to mention snakes or other creatures.
So, once a year i have to get out the machete and the flame thrower .... just kidding.....i get out the clippers and the cutters. this is what i started with last night. there is actually a fence in there.....and a creek.
Here's what it looks like now. you can see tree trunks. i cut back about 3 feet of it. filled 2 pickup loads. now i don't have to bend under trees or wonder what is going to jump out at me. at least for a year or so. i have managed to fix almost half of it. another couple times out there and it should be done. this is only the side.....i haven't even started the back. this property is an acre.....so it will take me a while.
I have to do the same thing at the farm. i cut out the small trees and brush and try and keep the vines out of the trees. then i itch and scratch for a couple weeks with the poison oak. price you pay. hahahaha

Might be the price, but you make our property look GOOD !!!!
When you get it all caught up, I have some similar stuff you can work on... Jim says you don't need to slack off and get lazy.
