Win/win!

I dragged the rest of the limbs from the back yard out to the curb and trimmed some shrubs as well to add to the pile. There are also a few big chunks from the fence I took down. My neighbor came home from the hospital where her husband spent a few days and was hurrying to get her bushes pruned for the pickup so I helped and we added hers to my stack because it was closer and saves the truck an extra stop. She'd had a pot roast in the oven all day and offered dinner - another win/win. (Husband is back home feeling much better after kidney stone complications.)

I see the knee doctor tomorrow, probably start getting the series of three shots that provide more buffer between the bones in the joint. All of those years of climbing mountains for work and pleasure are catching up to me.
