Victoria Day Weekend Update

Hello!  
How was your weekend?  Ours was good.  It was a long one due to the Victoria Day Holiday yesterday.  (Usually, Victoria Day in Canada and Memorial Day in the US happen on the same weekend, but not this year...)  We went into town to have dinner at my in-laws yesterday.  We finally had some lobster after the late start to lobster season.

They started plowing across the road- all the snow is gone there.  But you can still see snow in shady places in the woods on the drive to town.  I wonder if it will still be there in June?!

K got the sailboat out this weekend.
It's all ready to go, but the water is still a bit too cold to go out.  

We made some progress on our junk pile. 

Can you see the difference from before?

 Here's a closer look.

And here's before.
It was .23 tonnes of junk!  

 Below is wood that we're going to keep.
Except for the long 1x4's in the front.  Those are kinda rotten, so I'm going to put them in the front by the ditch to finish decomposing.  There's also a pile of little pieces of stuff (not pictured) that will get fed into our waste can over the next month.  We have waste pick up every two weeks, alternating with compost pick up. Actually, some of the trash is just wood, so it could go into the compost.  This week is the Spring Cleanup Compost pick up, so we can put out extra compost for the Waste Watch to pick up.  I'm not sure if you can tell in the above photo, but there are a lot of branches under the lumber.  Those are invasive weeds that I've dug up and need to get out of our yard. If there is a branch lying on the ground, it will root and start to grow and spread. I've already filled one big compost bag with branches/roots and just need to get to this pile...Perhaps this afternoon.

Have a great day! :-)
