      Cleaned up best I could with a scissor ✂️
      All rideable, better sightlines and not so many bushes on your hands for now. Although it is VERY dry still. Hopefully the upcoming in the forecast helps.
      Limpei com uma disora ✂️ que esse burro estava bem precisar um corte de cabelo 🫏

      Quite narrow and overgrown. Recommend pants and long sleeeves or expect scratches
