I was using a pole trimmer & cutting some high, fairly big tree limbs. I did about 100 yards of clearing fence line this afternoon so I don't have to dodge branches with the tractor smoke stack any more when bush hogging.

I am in awe. Unless the limb is less than 3 inches across, I am useless with a pole trimmer...I think I gave up after doing about fifteen feet with a pole trimmer to make it sunnier for my cattle panels with (of course) Tromboncinos, and cucuzzi.

DONE .... for the day and physically as well. Got waaay too hot, but got to a good point to stop on the fence clearing. I counted the 10-ft sections I’ve done .... 57! That’s 190 yards. Wow - surprised myself. The last 10 sections or so had vines with thorns growing in/on the fence and up into the trees. There was also some poison ivy as well.

5 Trombettas left to use up. My SIL made a squash casserole with one of hers - pretty bland since Trombettas don’t have much taste. We discussed ways to flavor it up & I think the next batch will be delish (the 1st batch wasn’t bad). Tomorrow I think will be the 2nd try at Trombetta bread .... right now, I don’t think I cold hold a spoon if I tried! :-)
