Doing Outside

 Trying to clean up this house and the surrounding land is like taking a cup of water out of the ocean. You know you've taken a cup of water out but you can't see any change!

Today I was determined to clean the passage between the house and storage area. There is space there for the trash but we need more bins. We've been putting the plastic bags out there but the cats and other animals get into them!

Before, bits of trash left lying around

The problem was the wind was rather strong today. Being between two building there was a wind tunnel effect. Plus the wind was very cold. I managed to pick up most of the trash, but there are a load of leaves that need to be swept up and I want to take down some of the trees there. I don't think having trees right next to the house is a good idea!

After, not much difference but a start.

Found that Fluffy was supervising from the window.

making sure the work is done

I then went into the storage place to see if I could do anything there. But boxes need to be moved, Christopher was helping but they are so heavy that they need two people to move them. I did manage to get some more books on the shelves and found a top I've been looking for!

After that I had a little walk round. The trees are starting to bud, I have no idea if this is early or not. I'm a bit worried as winter is far from over. The past week has been very mild. According to the weather reports the temperatures are similar to mid March! Next week it's going to get cold again!

A few early flowers and blossoms.

The yellow blossom is very beautiful

I hope to get out tomorrow, the weather should be alright. But from Monday rain and possible snow!!
