March Yard Pick Up

My young son said this was a "three holiday" weekend.  He meant Friday the 13th, followed by Pi Day on Saturday and the Ides of March today.  For me it was the annual weekend of outdoor cleanup.  Somehow I manage over the winter to accumulate various piles of debris around our yard.  This year it included a spoiled crock of sauerkraut, a large blue tarp, several defective watering containers, a number of five-gallon buckets, a stack of random red bricks, even more stacks of one-gallon pots, half a chord of firewood, and multiple locations where rabbit droppings that belong in the garden were dumped haphazardly by the hutches.  It is my hope that by chronicling it here I will be less likely to repeat this offense next winter.  Today the neighbors got most of it cleaned up and put away.  We even found an hour in the middle of the day to replace the brakes on the neighbor's truck which is a very rewarding experience considering that his life and the lives of his entire family depend on our doing it right.

For $20 we replaced the PVC pipe holding up the hoop house.

It has become an annual chore after the last snowfall.
