Today, I really wanted to get moving on trimming down the tree right by the front door. I kept telling myself that I would do it in the winter) not worry about the bugs) but I might as well get started now. I went over to Mrs. Tanaka’s place and asked to borrow the hand cutters but she insisted on helping me. Another neighbor’s wife came over after she was done with what she was doing to help us. I just wanted to trim some of the branches but we cut everything back. As we were cutting away, I was watching for any nasty spiders or the mosquitoes. As a matter of fact, we actually cut down all the branches away from the upper window and the kitchen window. When we were cleaning up some of the small areas, we noticed in the corner a small lizard. I thought it was cool. Mrs. Tanaka said that it eats bugs and makes noise. We bounded up the branches with string and placed the smaller ones in the clear trash bag for regular trash day tomorrow the 28th. Marc came back from work and noticed all three of us clearing away the nasty bug infested tree. Marc says, “It needed to go”. He was impressed that I did something on the outside of the place.
