Neighborhood clean-up

Yesterday was our annual neighborhood clean-up. 

I got rid of a few books and lots of papers that had gotten wet that I didn't deal with last year.  The good news is I found my baby book, and it was dry and intact.

I also found some things I had forgotten I'd stored in closets in the basement, so I have those to go through.  Nothing like I put out last year, but a nice way to get rid of the potential mold.  I also put some free things out and some of them were gone before I could even put the free signs on the boxes.

Friday morning I was taking more items to the "trash" pile, when I saw my Naked Ladies/Surprise Lilies had shot up.

The ones around my rose bush were just peeking out when I took these photos.

I decided to walk to the church where we met Saturday morning at early morning night time.  I felt a few sprinkles when I left the driveway, so returned my camera to the house.  By the time I had walked to the end of the block, the rain was starting to fall.  We battled the rain much of the morning, but our clean-up was a success.  We had enough volunteers, none of us had to work too hard.  After lunch, which the Neighborhood Association paid for, I came home and soaked in a hot bubble bath.  Then I took my sore body to bed and didn't even turn on the computer until late last night.

Thanks for joining me as my neighborhood association held their annual clean-up.
