Got up early, as usual, bright sunny morning. The plan for the day was to go to the dump with the car and recycle everything that was languishing on the patio. Metal, glass, paper and cardboard, stuff like that.
The 'dump' is very sophisticated in our county. Big recycling process here. The site is set up like a buffet: you go to bin to bin, paint and florescent bulbs, metal and appliances, paper/cardboard, oil and fuel. It keeps our 'trash' to a minimum and costs us nothing. It is cheaper to sort and recycle than to dump on real estate. We enjoy high compliance here, too.
After that we went to Petsmart for Irene and April, Home Depot for mulch, two grocery stores and home again, finally.
Once home, we tackled the lawn issues. Tom started doing 'pick up sticks,' which morphed into getting the truck, the tree-trimmer saw and the chain saw. The Blue Spruces look great now, and the Maple that will soon be cut down had a couple large limbs cut off. These limbs were light as Styrofoam, you can see right through most of it, like Swiss cheese.
With the patio cleared off and the trees trimmed, it feels like a lost a hundred pounds!
