Fun to let the kid drive the thing on my lap. Chainsawing down pear and apple trees? Not so much. The chainsawing's fun. The clean up's a bitch.

When you have 10 acres, you stop thinking about the whole property as a fucking suburban lawn. A little lawn and a garden is nice, but you also need a bit of meadow and some woods and a nice place by the stream to kick back while the dogs run.
People who want to walk to everything usually forget that part of everything is that bench by the stream with no one around. I need a vista. If I were ever going to live in the city, I'd have to be by the water front or looking over everything.
