It's still there as are the Ash and Sycamores t'other side of the stream.
The trouble is it also has a large covering of ivy which doesn't help matters and the last few yards of the garden, where it grows, slope steeply. It leans towards the slope and the light as well. What will be, will be, I suppose!

As we all know, gravity begins at home.

That English Ivy is the devil.
It's considered a noxious weed around here. I've ripped out miles of vines. It kills trees from above and below, strangling the roots and crushing the canopy. Kill it on sight.

Only a few branches ever see the light of day and they are only apparent when there's blossom. The ivy is so dense around the trunk that you can't actually touch it. I know, I've tried!

I have both 2018 tax returns in envelopes to take to the post office tomorrow. I think they're right :/
After getting over the emotional planet-sized roadblock of doing the taxes by myself ....this was always me and beest against the world (especially the last few years as we did them during chemo) ......and I just couldn't hand it over to someone else because I promised him we'd be OK and I could so it and this was part of it..... I then had to address the incredible complexities introduces by the various incomes related to his death and my actions with those..... And then the stupid Federal tax form is all changed so I couldn't follow our ritual of 20 years of working from the last year's...... but I think I'm good to go..... right up to the wire.... it might be OK...

Often a job that's done imperfectly is better than a job not done. Essentially the story of my life.

Thanks. The fuckers are mailed. fingers crossed any bad things I might have done accidentally were not criminal or expensive.... I just followed directions to the best of my ability but it really is a total crapshoot. I realized as I was inking the final version last night, there were two forms that didn't get mentioned anywhere, so I researched some more and found out what schedule I needed and did all that malarkey....and it did reduce my liability further, except that I was aalready maxed out on that avenue. Oh well. Every form I was sent is mentioned somewhere so..... (there were about 30)
