early spring cleanup

Last week I  worked at removing all the pinecones and fallen branches from our 30 trees in the front yard. I really find I  quit  enjoyable because I  have this great little lawnmower and wagon to help with the job.  I  retreived over 100  cones and as you see a stack of falled branches.  So much for last week.  This weekend another wind storm blessed us with another ample supply of  cones that fell from the tall pines.  So, I'll be out ther sometime this week if it doesn't rain, doing the job  once again.  Oh,  how we love mother natures way of getting us  outdoors and getting our exercise..  Yea,  I  know,   using the mower does not count as excercise.  The fresh air is good for us though!  This job took  an hour and a half to finish because our yard is so  big.  Then  mowed for 2 hours.
Well, the plumber came yesterday and got the sink and everything hooked up.  Hooray!!!!  I  now am doing the dishes in the kitchen.  What a joy.  You get to appreciate the little things when you don't have them for awhile.  Will try the dishwasher in a couple of days but love to do them in the new sink right now and there aren't enough dishes to load in the dishwasher  as  yet.  I'm  sure I'll enjoy it  when to time comes.
