I finally tidied up my study - hooray! And the wind blew over a big mat of ivy that was climbing over the old wall in my yard. It tore away all the suckers, so I had to spend ages cutting that back as it wouldn't 'stick' back where it had been.jennyfreckleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221511824958069710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-58060732010326424372012-01-10T15:12:16.047-05:002012-01-10T15:12:16.047-05:00Once I get up the courage to prune areas of my lif...Once I get up the courage to prune areas of my life that need it-I'm always happier : )tipperhttp://www.blindpigandtheacorn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-70171211641338065822012-01-08T22:18:32.941-05:002012-01-08T22:18:32.941-05:00I have the hardest time pruning plants and trees. ...I have the hardest time pruning plants and trees.

If it is living, it should be allow to - or something like that. Cutting a tree down is like cutting an arm off for him.
