Pruning the Lilac

The lilac bush needed some pruning done, as it was *much* taller than we wanted it to be, so after lunch I grabbed the sawzall and took off several branches. The bush is still *wider* than we want, but that's not really correctable right now without doing severe damage to the poor thing, so we'll see how it fills in with the forsythia bush on one side cut down and the overgrown (and non-blooming) top section removed.

There will be a lot more wood chipped in the future, but not until after Marcon. :)
