After lunch I added two barrowloads of bricks transported from the area around the oil tank to the growing heap on the Shady Path.
Dillon then took over the clearance task and I took a break. My grandson-in-law freed the areas around the tank, leaving just a small amount to be shifted along the back of the shed.
He added to the temporary heaps along the Shady Path, while I recovered pictures for the following posts:
This one has no header picture because these scans are not in my Mac Photos and I didn’t think it was worth spending the time to insert them.
This evening we all dined on Jackie’s zesty lemon chicken and flavoursome savoury rice, with which she drank Hoegaarden and I drank more of the Malbec.
Looks like the Head Gardener will have a lot of planning to do for the summer garden.
Indeed. Thanks very much, GP
It is gratifying to know that Dillon was able to assist in this arduous task.
Thanks very much, Anne
Lovely work done by you and Dillon. If you moved the wheelbarrow as well as filled it, I am very impressed. As GP says, the Head Gardener will be busy and I’m guessing so will you. 👍🌷🌹🌻🌼
Thanks very much, Pat. I do hope so
It looks like time to donate things and some for the bin? I am a Minimalist and don’t like clutter. Dinner sounds delicious as always, Jackie! ❤️🇬🇧☺️
Thanks very much from us both, John. Yes, those are our choices
Phew! Then I don’t get to make a joke about “don’t you dare move all that stuff back where it came from”!
You could
My first thought John when I saw this lot! Bin mostly I’d say!
Phew, a lot of things to move! Good thing you had Dylan to help you.
Thanks very much, Laurie
congrats on your dedication to the clean up and the changes. kudos.. I just want to go back to bed and listen to a talking book, currently simon bret’s Mrs.Partageur – totally no stress…
🙂 That’s a funny comment, Q. Thanks very much
Will the work of art that is your home ever be finished? Or will it be like those medieval cathedrals that always had something left to do?
Thank you do much, John. I doubt it
That’s a lot of work. Reminds me how many old pavers and cement blocks are waiting under the snow. Sigh.
At least you can’t see them, Kelly. Thanks very much
Whew! This post reminds me that I have a lot of house clutter to deal with. Later.
It has been later for us for a few years, Liz. Thanks very much
You’re welcome, Derrick.
I’m confused. My stomach just flipflopped when I saw Florence in a heap of junk. If you are saying goodbye to her, I hope she gets a good home. If I lived there, I’d take her.
Florence stays!!!!
🙂
Yes!!!
She’s just minding the rubbish, JoAnne. No-one would let her go
She does look like she’s overseeing the work, and even helping out. 🙂
What a relief!
Where will you put all of them Derrick?
Mostly binned or recycled, Arlen. Thanks very much
It is a lot of work, Derrick and Jackie. We have a bit of decluttering going on here, too.
Thanks very much from us both, Lavinia
I was thinking the same thing as Liz!
Thanks very much, Jill
Oh gosh! 😮 Are Florence and the owl leaving?! I hope not. If so, I hope you find them good homes.
But, yes, some times we have to sort, downsize, donate, and move forward. 🙂
YAY for the good work done by Dillon, and by you, Derrick! 🙂
OOH on your meal menu! Two of my fave things! YUMMY! 🙂
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Not at all, Carolyn. They are just temporarily surrounded 🙂 Thanks very much X
Oh, good! 🙂 🙂
So much physical and mental work. I bet you were ready for dinner!
And bed, Merril. Thanks very much
You’re welcome, Derrick. 🙂
I’m glad to see Florence will stay put, in one spot or another. When I saw that photo of her amidst the piles of this and that, I had to laugh. In her present state, she looks for all the world like a woman prowling through a yard sale, clutching her treasures.
She does, indeed, Linda. She will stay exactly where she is. Thanks very much
A lot of work, Derrick, and glad Dillon could help. Florence appears to be the overseer of the project.
She does, Eugi. Thanks very much
You’re welcome, Derrick.
A lot of hard work involved here. Well done!
I have an area where I store old pots and it gets bigger each year!
Thanks very much, Sue
You and Dillon did a grat job, Derrick!
Thanks very much, Aletta
That rusty old stool is rather fascinating.
Yes one think that might be converted to garden art. Thanks a lot, Andrew
Where does all that stuff come from? We recently got rid of a similar selection and I swear I hadn’t seen some of it before!
Thanks a lot, Quercus
There’s nothing more satisfying that having a good clean up and clear out. OH currently on a cycling tour of Gran Canaria (again) so I too am having a clean up and out.
Thanks very much, Sheree. I may never have mentioned that the one international rugby cap earned by my son Sam was for the Canary Islands v the Dominican Republic during his gap year 🙂
No, I don’t think you have mentioned it. That was pretty impressive.
