Family walk to the Big Down Marsh, where we quite belatedly scattered Hazel's ashes. We had been saving this for a day with nice weather and with Jess and Zack at home. Takes a while to pull all those threads together, and so here we were a year and a half later. Sassy was doing her best to emulate Hazel, tirelessly chasing and retrieving sticks thrown out into the pond.

outing at 5 ponds, on my way to Northfield for some chainsaw work. Legs heavy. Some of the small trails disappearing from the map.

About two hours cleaning up storm damage at a friend's house with my chainsaw. Very scary stuff, big multiple stem trees twisted together and suspended pretty high up. Tried to be methodical in pulling it apart, but still got the saw stuck a few times. Good I brought a lot of wedges. Finally got everything on the ground and mostly sawed up. Give them a lot of stacking and splitting to do. That wasn't part of the service. Plenty tired after that.
