Never ending yard work


If you look carefully at this picture you will see a black sprinkler head submerged in gurgling, slightly murky water. This is the result of trying to move the front lawn without taking into account that I replaced this head a couple of weeks ago. Many trips by our neighbor with a wheelbarrow while working on the fence broke off the sprinkler head in the first place. Now I'm working on it again. And that's the story of yard work.

We had a garbage strike a few weeks ago. The county garbage collector's union refused to pick up garbage which included materials to be recycled as well as green waste. We've been back in service for two weeks now but we're still behind in green waste. This is when we could definitely use a larger composter like we used to have but only if we also had a chipper/shredder like we had in Long Beach. Then we wouldn't have a trash can looking like this with still 10 more days until the next time it's due to be emptied.
