Yesterday was spent mainly getting prepared for trash day. Unlike Philadelphia, it is not just putting whatever out by the curbside. I use a wheel barrel normally. Plus, we pay for trash pick up. There is a company that has a contract with the state. The limit is six bags and they must be tagged. Being somewhat miserly, I try very hard to put out six bags every week.
So each week normally has a project associated with it. Yesterday's was taking apart a playhouse in the yard. It was built out of normal materials, wood and nails. It was sort of sad for it had a history and memories. It was interesting however to see first hand how nature has the ability to take back its own. There was sign of termites, for example. It was also being 'eaten' by plants, and wind and water. It is gone now, at least as a structure; though I could not burn the bulk of debris as there is a ban currently on outdoor fires. Sigh.
We watched The Bucket List. It was sad. The acting was outstanding.
Looking forward to getting lots done outside today. Need to take advantage of the weather as there is much to do that will be harder in the summer heat. We have four out buildings. A tool shed. A wood shed. The original barn and a really big barn. Both barns are designed to harbor large animals though we do not have any at present. The property is basically horse heaven. Lots and lots of pasture, and friendly people too!
Love someone well today,
Bobby

When the girls were little, they loved that playhouse. In its prime, it had flower boxes, a mailbox, a stone path leading up to the front door and a deck off the side where they had a pool. Inside, they had their own kitchen with play food, dishes and pans and little chairs to sit in to enjoy their pretend meals. It was a wonderful place for two little girls to play!!
