Turns out that trail wasn’t gonna clear itself! The last couple of years, the trails across the river in my back yard have been getting overgrown with large weeds, and I kept complaining about it. I finally took matters into my own hands! Just needed a quick lesson from the hubby in how to use this thing…I don’t even know what it’s called 😆 but I got through clearing a small part of it yesterday… #classicrockmusic #trailclearing #genxwomen #womendiyers #getitdone
