Spring (+summer and autumn) Cleaning ...?

Monday morning clean up and weeding in preparation for some new plantings and mulching. The hummers will be happy to see us leave their feeder area.

Every Spring we prune the oak trees around the house in preparation for fire season.

The Hell with the Spring Clean-up, it's all about the new spring bonnet I say.......

Thank you for your entries...I was sweating it there for a hot minute, but you all came through

RDWP What a mess! It looks like my BIL's apartment...I wouldn't know where to begin.

OldCrow That's our week in a nutshell And yes, I'm sure the hummers will be happy once you're done...

Timphoto A very proactive spring cleanup that pays crucial dividends later on.

TerryPink If you wore that bonnet for yard work it would attract too many bees!

I like 'em all, but the one that's most on topic is OldCrow's with Timphoto's a close second.

Thanks' again for playing and take it away Don!

Congrats to the winners and thanks to Ed for hosting.
