This evening I gave myself an hour to see how many of those limbs and trees I could get out of my neighbor's yard. The answer is, all of them. Plus I cut down the other trees at the fence line. I took them off with tall stumps (~ 4') so they would topple into my yard. Tomorrow when the neighbor comes over with his chainsaw (we decided today was too wet for that work) I'll take out those posts as close to the ground as possible. And I'll take the string trimmer over and clear her side and my side of the fence, so it is a nice clean look.

This was all in an hour, but my shoulders and elbows can sure feel it. I took a lightweight bow saw (21") and a standard pair of loppers out. I cut what I could with the loppers and tossed the segments over, then cut the boles into 3 - 4' pieces and tossed them over also. Good steady motion, not quite breathing hard, but I think this declutter definitely also counts for the accountability portion of the thread!

Must drive to work tomorrow to take care of some stuff, and I'll make sure to park way south of campus and walk up to the library. I easily get a mile round trip that way. And climbing the stairs there is something I should do several times a day. This is the time of year the metabolism is in gear to burn energy and lose weight, so I need to take advantage of it. I sure didn't do anything productive to keep the weight off last winter.
