Slow progress on cleaning up the yard and getting it ready for the make over I hope to be able to do this spring, summer, fall. Yes, I think it will probably take me that long to do it. After all, I won’t have a whole heck of lot of help now will I?

     I managed to clean up half of the crap alongside the house and filled two barrels full of leaves. Still have that amount left to do there too. During my clean up, I found one small snake-I played with it a bit before I let it loose under the tulip poplar. There were many large night crawlers re-homed to the side garden and I came across one hyperactive salamander. He was fun to play with too and also found a new home in one of the gardens. It’s no wonder it takes me so long to get things done. I get so easily distracted.

     Hiring someone to do the garden clean up looks better and better as my muscles were screaming in protest after only a short amount of time but very intense work.

     Neighbor’s friend the roofer guy showed up today to check out and see what our roof is going to cost us. He’s going to do up an estimate. Plus there’s that falling apart front porch issue we need to address. We might as well stick our hands in the air and smile.  It seems there’s no such thing as us getting a break.

     Rain tomorrow may slow the clean up progress even more. However,I will plaster a smile on my face and keep moving forward. Might be a good day to finish hanging the blinds.

     You all have a good one!

Magnolia today. Full bloom won’t be too far off.
