We started breaking up the branches and twigs in the back yard Friday night (from the downed tree) and filled a big trash container and six or seven big bags.
I sawed up some of the medium branches that evening. Today Hydra bought a chain saw and got to work on the bigger branches.

Wow, what a lot of work! That's a 4 pound hammer. I tried splitting one log and it was about all I could do to get through it.
Gonna get the IcyHot ready!
Kitty and I were shopping in Palmdale all afternoon. We were tired too.
