Pruning Therapy

I love to do some pruning! I’m taking advantage of Arkansas’ freak warm day in January to get some pruning done.

you whack them down. I know most people (as my neighbor informed me in the middle of my project) would do this in February, but I had some damage from the heavy snow that I could not stand. I love the feeling of accomplishment once that shrub is a fraction of its former self.

The only thing I like more than a good slash and burn pruning is throwing things away. I have what we call “domestic bulimia” at our house. Just purge purge purge! Very therapeutic, I think. I don’t tend to shop a whole lot, so I always wonder where all this crap comes from. Kids. I blame the kids.
“Domestic Bulimia”…Hilarious!!!!!
Heather…hope you don’t mind. I put your blog link on my facebook after I used my new favorite term “Domestic Bulimia”. That’s even better than my old favorite term “compromising my udders” (see under goat post).
Thanks Heather. I’m going to try to catch your “Domestic Bulimia” around this place next week. I hope I can find it as satisfiing as pruning. I hate house work!
