The morning of Sunday, 1/15/17 was beautiful. At 9am, it was a little on the chilly side but the sun was out. We decided to work on the east side of the south pond. The photos above show the beginning of our efforts and the photo below is a close-up of the task at hand, namely, to remove ivy climbing up trees.
The ponds are almost entirely iced over. Below is the south pond, seen from the area of our morning's work.
Jim and I were joined by Howard, who saw us working the previous Sunday, stopped by to ask if he could help, and I had given him our email address. Jim and Howard are below on the left, as we were wrapping up our work. The photo on the right is of the trees Jim tackled first. It was about this time that Chie and Yuto found us. Since our work in this area was finished, we headed to the North Woods, right along 155th.
We primarily clipped blackberry and pulled any ivy mixed in with it. I found myself working on a particular spot because I could see there was a sword fern beneath the blackberry. Here are the before and after photos:
