fitzw[So, let’s see if I remember how this works.]
The summer has been full of stops and starts, with weather and mild illness (summer cold) slowing progress on the projects.
One section of the lawn hasn’t been mowed for weeks (it’s the section that had the meadowlark nest earlier in the summer).
So, this past week, I set the walk-behind mower to it’s highest setting and mowed a large part of that section. After it settles, I’ll be mowing it again at a lower setting. We want that section clipped because it has a number of plants that we do not want to spread around the property.
Today was a trip to the local Transfer Station: two bags of trash (mostly items that we are removing from the barn), a bin of demolition material (old asphalt shingles from the barn, old weed blocker fabric that wouldn’t block anything, &c), an old car bench seat that was left on the property from some previous owner, a non-functioning computer monitor (there’s a special container box for large electronics, e.g. televisions, computer monitors, printers), paper recycling, some old books for the book exchange. I’ll have to go back this weekend, because I neglected to include the container recycling.
