Trimming the trees in the garden is hard work.

 It was a very fine day today. I worked on my garden, trimming the yew trees. I set up a ladder and climbed it, stood on the top of it, and trimmed with big pruning scissors. It was a very tough job, especially for an old man like me. These years, I have cut down trees and decreased the number of trees in my garden, but still there are more than 10 tall trees including 6 yew trees, four hinoki cypresses, a lilac, a magnolia, etc. I will have to cut them down before I become too old to take care of them.
