Maybe I should have left this post up to Tom, but I couldn't resist the photos (and I'm sure he'll chime in!). While I sit inside on this very windy day, getting some much needed research done, the men are outside playing with power tools. Alfredo's task for the day...or week...is to clear the overgrown rambles of wild blackberries and other invasive shrubs that have completely construed our vista to the West. At lunch he was covered in thorns and smelled of gasoline, but, so far it is looking fantastic! Here are a few pictures from early this afternoon. Unfortunately, I don't think I got out there early enough to get a before-shot that does the job justice, but an after-shot will follow shortly to show off all his hard work!
