a chipper off the ol' block

Last weekend a friend who is an arborist visited our house. He noticed that the trees in our wash really need trimming and offered to do the work for us "because we are always helping other people." So, Thursday afternoon, armed with chainsaw and clippers, he headed into the untamed wilds of our wash. By the time the sun went down the ground was covered with prickly piles of Palo Verte branches.

Jay had Friday off, having already put 40 hours in at work. He rented a chipper and together we chipped away at the piles of branches.


Not long before the sun set the chipper motor stopped. Jay said, "The chipper says it's time to stop working, the sabbath is about to begin'

another beautiful start to the sabbath

Shabbat Shalom
