Clean Up Day

Yesterday was clean up day!

The monkey and I were lazy last fall (mostly due to the fact that I was caught up in taking a grad class and had no time to contribute to the homstead).  We didn't do any cleaning before the havy snow. There was no raking of the leaves and there are little pieces of trash blowing all over the front of the yard.  Witness the crap:


Turns out, lazyness is a virtue! It was a much better idea to clean up in the spring rather than the fall.  The leaves protected all the plants underneath.  

While raking, we used every yard bag in the garage and still had at least four barrels worth of debris.  Since we needed extra bags, the rest of the day was devoted to a Home Depot run.  Therefore the clean up continued today, and the results were great.
