Pruning is no easy chore when the
miner is forced to have her head stuck
amongst the branches in order to obtain
the desired results. My wee Irish temper
got the better of me and 1 started in on
the offending tree. Unfortimately Mr. Fix -
it arrived on the scene before 1 could
finish the job. While 1 had managed to
remove some of the smaller limbs there
were two larger ones I wanted removed
and the tool 1 was using wasn't quite
large'enough. Not knowing bow to use a
chain saw, I cajoled Mr. Pixit into
removing those two. 1 figured I was on
a roll and proceeded to suggest that he

would 'enhance the appearancr of the

would not touch any more on that tree.
