No Bengay here, just Voltaten!Can y’all smell the Bengay?All the bending and scooping of the trimmings. Ack! We are half done trimming the bushes. We got the front of the house done, and so are we for today. We may have to call in Edward Scissorhands to finish the job.
We might have gotten a little farther along, if we hadn't sat on the porch for so long recouping after trimming each shrub.
I am an electric type of gal! 
I can't believe how week muscles can get which is why they hurt so much when we use them. I can't even use Bengay on mine yet. I was getting ready to shower and the muscle I ripped under my shoulder/bicept looks like a horse bit meCan y’all smell the Bengay?

So I use the long hedge clippers that have the "scissor" mechanism. By the time I've done one hedge I'm steps away from urgent care.
Get the battery operated shrub trimmers. I have the Ryobi with two different heads. Lightweight and very easy to handle. High quality and affordable.Ugh, I know exactly what you're saying. I have to be the "designated trimmer," or my husband will get out the chainsaw and cut the hedges off at the ground. He doesn't get the "shaping" concept and believes that twigs look fine because "they will grow back".
I have some electric clippers but I have cut two expensive extension cords in half so I'm not allowed to use those without supervision.

Guess I can never let myself get this weak again.
Reminds me of "We must...we must improve our bust." (long handled hedge clippers).Ugh, I know exactly what you're saying.

My husband started to wear this hat a few years ago, when he is outside in the sun doing stuff. I like to never got use to him wearing that type of hat. I think he ended up buying one in every color.My husband bought himself a straw garden hat after yet another skin cancer visit to the dermatologist recently. (Looks kind of ridiculous to me but we're old now and that seems to go with the territory.

Did he get stripped bibbed overalls? If not, drag his butt back to that store and get a pair. Also a pitchfork, I suggest a 5 prong known as a manure fork, for cleaning up those fallen trimming that fell in the rocks, victims of the new battery operated shrub trimmer, skillfully guided by your hands. He can use the fork to lean on while watching you sculpture (as opposed to chainsaw butchery) those evergreens.That one doesn't look too bad. The one my husband bought is a limp straw, so he has that "Smiley Burnette" thing going on.
Hey that looks like my American Hat Company USA made women's hat that cost me well over $100 on sale. I hung it on this fence post during my rural walk to get a photo.My husband started to wear this hat a few years ago, when he is outside in the sun doing stuff.
