Clearing the Vines

 

This week's update is all about clearing out the vines over part of the washout on the property. The above picture is a before. I was hoping to clear the vines in a manner that would allow me to fashion some wreaths for a friend, but due to the thickness of the vines and the intermingling of a thorny vine I had to cut the vines into roughly 3 foot sections to remove them.

During the clearing I found what looks like a kids baking toy set.

I don't know what this blue thing is, but it looks like a tarp.

Then there was the comedy find ... a Wheel barrow. There is also what looks like part of a roof and some tires down there too.

I was able to clear the vines away from the two oak trees, so hopefully they will stop having branches ripped off them from the vines and wind.

It doesn't look like much but that is the finished clearing. The reason it doesn't look like much is because I just couldn't safely get to the branch with the vines still on it, but hopefully I did cut all the vines so that they will die and fall off.
