Making Some Headway!

Today they were calling for rain...so I tried to do what I could before it got here.  You can see that I've made a little headway on my project.  I filled two garbage bags with cat little boxes and plastic containers. I was going to recycle the containers, but there are just too many of them.

I dug out the dead pampas grass which actually wasn't as much of a job as I thought it would be. The ground there is amazingly soft and a very rich black color.  If I decide to plant something in the ground, it will do wonderfully.  It is, however, a very dry spot...which I'll have to take into consideration before planting anything.

Nice start, I think.

See?  Getting a good start on the trash reduction on this end.

Pampas Grass be gone!  ...along with the hedge tree the birds planted.

This is the front side of the barn I didn't show you yesterday.

There's a Carolina Jasmine trapped in that maze of Honeysuckle.

That tree has to come down.  It's a mimosa type tree, but doesn't bloom.  It does, however, have some dangerous thorns running up and down the trunk and on the limbs.  Gotta be very careful when taking it down.

The other side of the barn. That's a Walnut Tree growing beside it.  I would drop it, but I like the root system.

Yeah...everyone likes to dump stuff on us.

Lots of cleaning...

purging to do on this side too.

Moved an old cooler to find this hole in the back.  Don't know who dug it or why, but it needs to be filled in.

See...love the Walnut Tree roots on this side of the barn.

A glimpse behind the fence.  I can see another Mimosa that has to come out.  It has thorns too.

Hmmm...things are beginning to transform. Can't wait till the digging and purging is done and the decorating can begin.

For now, it's getting late and I still have things to do in the house.  Clothes need to be folded and put away, dinner needs to be cooked, and the kitchen cleaned up before I settle in to watch The Walking Dead.
