    I haven’t cut for a few days and today was a challenge. I was moving slow.
    After an inept sharpening job, the bigger saw was trying to cut in a circle so I didn’t get much done.
    Good news was the smaller saw was cutting well and it was a nice day.

    I’ve been old since I was young. LOL. Just relax and do what you can when you can. Small bites are better than bedridden. ;)

    Are those wildflowers?
