If Mom is hauling, she’s a pretty strong woman. Is she related to Annie Oakley by any chance?
BTW, our dying hickory tree was full of ants! I’d never seen anything like it.

Farm girl - she & her 3 sisters worked from an early age in the fields, had mules to do the plowing, everything else was by hand (topping tobacco, weeding, hoeing, picking cotton, milking some of the cows not in the dairy) .... working in those days was a matter of survival.
I am giving my back a break & relocating our motion alarms. One was in a tree I took down & the other needs a better location. Stumps are about knee high now - I’ll need a low stool to sit on to get them lower.

The two stumps. I hope we can haul the big branch & trunk pieces by dinner. Cutting that stump lower will have to be another day. My chain came off the saw - got it back on & working after cleaning a ton of sawdust out of where the bar & chain go - it was quite the mess after all the sawing today.
We're going across the mountain tomorrow morning to a Farmers Market where my niece has a flower booth - it will be a half day vacation from work around this place! :-)
