We did not get rain. That blue norther blew in a really nice day. After the gardener finished gardening, he went up the ladder with the machete and dropped a few branches that were throwing shade on our tiny gardens. After he left, I took the machete and chopped them into pieces small enough to burn, and burned them. One of my absolute favorite outdoor activities. It was a regular thing living on the farm in Ohio. I haven't done it in many years and may not do it again. I enjoyed it immensely and it tired me right out.
