Big Bad Branch

Today I cut down some branches from a tree. This wasn't something completely out of the ordinary for me, but being 15 feet up in a ladder while doing so was. I am not afraid of heights, but I don't like feeling unsecured up high.

The two branches took for ever to cut down. Ants were crawling all over my arms, which I couldn't even feel after sawing for 20 minutes with a dull blade at an awkward angle. When the second and final branch was finally cut, I was relieved. That is until it started to lean against the ladder and push it sideways. I was able to get down the ladder safely and be on land again. It was nice to have those branches cut down, but being off the ladder was even nicer.
