[Ravensfort] Mowing, partial Tree Felling, and Ant Control

[Dan Smith Jr]

Very good!  I'm glad to hear that the tree is less of a worry.
Something I forgot to mention when I saw you on Saturday (this came from a 
populace discussion) is that the land owners would like us to burn the large 
pile of greenery that's accumulating beyond the archery field.  I heard 
rumor (again, at populace) that we may try to do it this weekend.  The stuff 
is VERY green, though.  I just wanted to make sure you had wind of this.
I will be bringing my mower on Friday to touch-up the fine cutting.  Thanks 
abunch for knocking down the big stuff.
At the risk of having a shoe thrown at me...

DEADANT....DEADANT....DEADANT DEADANT DEADANT DEADANT DEADAAAAAAA.....DE DA 
DE DOo deee....
(to the tune of "Pink Panther", of course...)

Pray to God, but row for shore....              (old russian proverb)
