Storm Clean-Update: OK, after a couple of days of really foul, black moods, it’s time for a sucky-mood reversal. Solstice, check. Dark days getting brighter, check. To-do List, ever expanding, check and check again. Counting my blessings, check, check, many check-check-checks. Weather is in my favor, and even if it wasn’t, heckin’ check.

Got the little 8″ battery chainsaw going. Made progress. Started a new brush pile in the front yard. Got the volunteer trees down from in front of the house. Used ratchet straps to make sure I didn’t hit the propane tank, because… well, right. Did not in fact, hit the propane tank.

• Find tree guy to drop big trees
• burn debris pile
• schedule gravel delivery and
• schedule bobcat to spread gravel
• Demolish/replace damaged kennel roofs, kennel panels, doghouses, paver blocks
• breathe
