Forced to do Some Work

Because the wind knocked the plastic greenhouse off kilter and left it unstable, I was forced to go outside and do some work.  As it turns out, this has been a truly great weekend, the nicest so far, so this was not such a burden.

Inspecting the greenhouse was hazardous - not because of the cockeyed structure, but because there is a lot of dog poop that emerged when the snow disappeared.  The wind had also blown around my enormous (and now mostly empty) pot collection.  Miscellaneous debris, including leaves I thought were securely deposited in the the compost bin but weren't, was everywhere.  So in typical gardener fashion, I began fixing the shed by cleaning up the yard. And, in typical gardener fashion, one thing led to another and another.  I knew I needed help if I was actually going to get to the shed.  Luckily, help appeared, and a bunch of pruning got done as well as yard cleanup.

By the time I cleared enough of a passageway to get to the greenhouse itself, and then cleared out some of the debris all jumbled up inside the greeenhouse, I was exhausted.  Luckily, the structure itself is very light, and I simply picked it up and set it down again.  It is not yet fastened down, so I'm going to have to hope for light winds this week and fix it next week.

I did also get out to the front corner and did the cleanup I meant to do last December.

Because it's still February, it's not going to look that great.  Too much grey.  But at least now it looks cleaner. I left the Christmas lights out - they are solar and very festive when you come up the hill toward my house.  They'll go inside no later than daffodil time.
