Tree-Trimming, My Semi-Obsession

I've found my newest hobby: tree-trimming! I find manual labor invigorating, especially when it involves beautification. So, when I took it upon myself to shear some limbs from our overgrown trees, I was soon to embark upon a late fixation.

I spent hours trimming our bulky pecan trees. I must have been the first person ever to take a sharp object of any sort to the once-cumbersome greenery. Before I trimmed them, there were branches shooting out all over the place. I could hardly pull into the driveway without limbs grinding along the top of my car. Now, however, my house can finally be viewed as a comfortably lived-in home, rather than a gnat-infested abode hosting clandestine activity. Okay, it wasn't really THAT bad, but it indesputably looks much more pleasant now. Plus, tree-trimming is a surprisingly good workout. I can still feel the burn in my neck and shoulders.

PS: Yes, I know I need a tan.
