Day One

Now you see it...



Now you don't...



Now you see them...



Now you don't...



Three down, one to go. The backyard looks naked without those silver maples and will take some getting used to. Now I know why the sky out west looks so big - no trees.

The tree guys left me a little firewood (at my behest), so tonight I stacked that by the back fence, then cleaned up some brush piles so that I could more easily reach the compost pile. I sifted enough compost to treat the rest of the backyard perennials, plus the ones on the north and south sides of the house. Despite the weather forecast, it started to sprinkle, which gave me an excuse for stopping for the night. I'm whooped.
