My mom will have a heart attack when she sees these pictures of her daughter wielding a chainsaw. She is fearful that I will cut off a toe or my whole leg.
The only near-accident that occurred is that, while I was cutting one end of a propped-up tree and Paul was cutting the other, my end snapped back and almost knocked me out cold to the ground. Almost, Mom. My superhero-like reflexes had me ducking before I took a punch to the face.
What a tiring but fruitful wood-getting day! Next time, Paul can take other men and boys with him. I'll stay home and bake cookies instead.
Impressive! I don't think I've ever wielded a chainsaw before. I've really tried to shun all manual labor in my life. Not only that, but I have a secret fear of cutting my femoral artery and bleeding out before anyone can get me back to the Round Valley hospital...but that's just me. I'm also afraid of dying of hantavirus. But that's another story.
