Tree Pruning Time

So Saturday Keith and I had the opportunity to prune the apple tree over at mom and dads house. It was my very first pruning experience and I rather enjoyed it. I did not however enjoy my experience with the pruning shears, as I received several blood blisters by the nasty lil' things! Voici, I have proof!



Here's before I dissected my thumb:

And here's after:

And... Here's the remains:

It was quite educational. And the best thing about it~ I only got woozy and light headed a couple times! I think I'm getting better with blood and icky things. Yay! =)

Today is the day!
