Spring Yard Clean-Up

This picture was taken 6 years ago but it could have been taken today. My "yard work" objective for the day included putting the snow blower away for the summer and getting out the lawn mower. It also included cleaning out the area that Elaine is working on in the picture. The Pfitzer shown here had outgrown it's usefulness and I cut it out yesterday. Elaine raked out the leaves today while I ran the gas out of the snow blower and put it away. Then I took the bag off the mower and chopped up the leaves. They had "weathered" but had enough moisture in them that they chopped up into a course powder. We carried two  garbage  cans of it back to the compost pile. We had our exercise for the day; came in the house for a cup of coffee; turned on the TV to see how far down the market had closed, and learned of the Boston tragedy. April 15 will now have another memory in addition to Income Tax and the date of our Farm Auction.
