Had on 'okay' day yesterday. Got a few errands ran. And what I mean by "errands" is just that we went to the bank, out to lunch, and to the grocery store. While we were there we got our money back on a GameBoy that was the wrong color, and then bought one that was the right (different than brother's) color so they could tell them apart. *grin* Since it was raining or drizzling pretty much all day yesterday, we didn't get any more branches cut-up. Will probably do some of that today since it looks like the sun is trying to break through the clouds. Just got an alert on Weatherbug saying that we're in a dense fog warning, but I know that's not for us in this area. It's actually for the Marshfield area (that's the nearest weather station).
Two days ago we got the apple tree pruned a bit. Let me tell you, apple tree branches are HARD to take off because little branches weave their way through the big ones. So you have to basically dissect the branch you want to remove so it can slide out through all kinds of twists and turns. The tree still needs a bit more pruning, but I've heard you don't want to prune fruit trees too much if it's been a long time since the last one. If you do, you can send it into shock. And since it's been over 6 years since the last pruning, we didn't want to overdo it.

Yeah, from what I remember, the rule of thumb is no more than 1/3 of the tree is pruned. I have always enjoyed pruning fruit trees, just like rose bushes. It's funny. I have neither of those here!
