Last Sunday in July

Hard to believe the month is winding down. It surely flew by, some of which was wasted hiding from temps in the 100s.

We opted to stay home and take care of some of that 'honey-do' list. We cleaned out the standing water and leaf matter in the landscaping bins. Unfortunately these bins were installed poorly, and water accumulates with debris and makes a thick tea that has to be manually scraped and pushed out. One of these days we will install a roof over the bins, which will have to extend past the apron to avoid the rain water surge.

He trimmed the 'suckers' and dead branches out of the Maples in the 'little woods.' I cleaned the debris up, dragging it to the burn pile.

After lunch he tackled the debris pile that has been residing next to the LQ trailer for the past couple years. Tree limbs from named hurricanes just kept piling up. There is wildlife in there, too. He said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. This debris pile journey began with one stick. And a wheelbarrow. We really need to have another bonfire, soon.
