Palm Cut Sunday

In our never ending battle against the weeds, I took a break to cut some palm branches. There were several hanging dead with a few slumped right along the walking path.

It was time for a Palm haircut. The task itself is mostly devoid of fun but I do like it when I finally cut through a branch and it drops. You could make wings out of these things but they’d be too heavy to take flight.

The last time we cut the Palms I came out of it with a sore shoulder, this time one of the Palm needles got me in the leg, and now the area is a little swollen and sore.

I can’t dance with these things without getting banged up. I cleaned the wound and put some triple antibacterial lotion on it. I’ll see what it looks like in the morning. My tetanus shots aren’t due yet so that’s good.

After the rain we had last week it was a good idea to take to the backyard. The weeds were back along with some nice growth in a few areas. We try to get some control over that and not allow a complete weed takeover.
