We did some yard work today. I tackled the compost pile. It was big enough for the whole block. I downsized it by half. It is still bigger than we need. But it is very much more tidy now.
I also trimmed up the butterfly bush, because we plan to move the plastic bin thing to the adjacent fence on the left.
Here you can see the trimmings from the bush laying in the dirt where part of the compost pile used to be.
The white picket fence still needs to be cut to fit around the compost area.
Gary mowed the front yard, dug out a tree trunk and pulled out all the dying pepper and tomato plants, after harvesting the last of the crop. He has asked me several times to remind him next year we do not need four hot pepper plants.
Josh helped me some and pulled off a lot of the vine from the fence behind the plastic bin.
Ellie brought us a snack and made brownies.
And after all the work was done, we played. Josh requested dodge ball. We also had some spin around and get the kids dizzy time, lay on the ground and flip the kids over my head time, and three-legged race time.
Then we went out for dinner. Kulp's Spices treated us for all our hard work at the market.
It was a great family day.
