It Has Begun...

spring clean-up.



With hundreds of pine trees
shedding millions
(maybe billions)
of pine needles
and a few oak trees
adding to the mix,




 this will be a common site
at our place over
the next several weeks.
This is a very, very small
pile compared to what lies ahead.



Our supervisor.

Max is definitely the purrfect pup to keep an eye on you and Becky to be sure you pick up each and every 2 million pine cones!!

It such a great time of year to be outdoors working!

Donna said...

Oh Jill, this is a huge job, I know! I only had about 12 pines along the street. Do they shed needles!

Becky looks to be a big help! As does your Supervisor! Need to harness him and have him pull the wagon!

Love, love, love your new header, Jill!

Blessings,
Donna

Oh that's what I would do too. A small manageable pile - no matter how long it takes.
