Outdoor Spring Cleaning

| 23 Comments | No TrackBacks

On Saturday I spent close to 4 hours outside in my yard doing "spring cleaning".  There are LOTS of trees and perennial flowers in my yard.  Which means there are LOTS of leaves and general cleanup to do in the late fall and early spring.  There is one large area in the back which is particularly hard to clean up due to the way the landscaping is set up and all the foliage and branches that the leaves love to get stuck in and don't want to come out.  For the most part I enjoy getting outside and doing yard work.  The fresh air is good.  The exercise is good.  It does get a little overwhelming though, and I need to know when to call it quits for the day.

This particular Saturday my boyfriend came over to help.  At one point my little 4 or 5 year old neighbor trotted over to chat with us.  While he was there, I happened to ask my boyfriend if he knew where the large rake was.  Two minutes later the little boy is back with a rake from his house that is 3 or 4 times larger than he is.  It was the funniest/cutest thing I had seen in a while.  Then he runs away again and comes back with a much smaller rake and proudly announces, "My dad said it was ok for me to come over and help you!"  So I gave him a small little task to do so he would feel helpful and he did a great job.  Little kids can be so awesome.  I just hope my neighbor didn't get upset that his son was next door helping the neighbor instead of helping at home!


Here's a pic of my yard in mid-spring last year.  Definitely worth all the work  :)
