It's Friday, which means it's time to join Friday Smiles, hosted by Annie (at A Stitch in Time). Let's visit Annie and the other wonderful ladies who also share their smiles each Friday.
Our neighborhood association has a clean up every year. Since it is either in August or September, we were in lock down in both 2019 and 2020. However, long term viewers suffered through me removing my bamboo in 2021.
Not to be outdone, I'm sure many of you also remember the opossum that took up residence in my shed in 2022. Luckily, it was just in time for the annual cleanup.
Then it was time for the shed reveal.
It's a start with the left side of the shed finished.
Then the right side of the shed was finished. After seeing the photo, I turned the pitch fork around so no one would trip over it and hurt their self.
Fast forward to 2023. I contributed a half pound of coffee from the Spice Merchant to our neighborhood cleanup. I didn't even have to grind it myself!First bamboo, then a clean shed. This year I decided to clean my garage.

The first night, east wall.
The next morning east wall. 
Drills, hammers, sander, jigsaw, battery charger, and large containers of laundry soap.

Well done on the garage clean up. You would be very welcome to do ours - and thanks for the funnies.
I wish we had something like the annual clean up here, it might encourage my hubby to do the garage and workshop. Every year he is going to clear these places and doesn't. I have had to nag him to clean the filters for the pond as it wasn't done last year (he found an excuse for that!) luckily we have two filter working all the time and one is easier to clean so the water has remained okay. However the garage and the workshop are awful, I must photograph them and show you some time. Anyway well done you and I'm loving the cat funnies they are brilliant. Wishing you a very happy and relaxed weekend. Hugs, angela xXx
...bamboo can be nasty. In the '60s when I at the University of Georgia I saw it growing through black top.
You done good work keep it up!

Well done for sorting out your shed! It's a great initiative they have in your neighborhood and a good incentive for people to clean up and clean out their garden and other spaces.
Yes, I remember the bamboo. My husband always planted them in buckets or big containers so they wouldn't go wild.
Oh those funnies had me giggling. The cat ones are so true. And you got me singing: It's all about that bass.
I'll be thinking of you this afternoon, (when I assume you will be working your socks off). Well done you!
Have a lovely weekend,
Hugs,

Well you with the clean up....knowing where everything is is the best bit. Love the funnies.
Hugs,

Your garage looks like a fun place to play.It's like my husband's shop, only his stuff is spread out into the garage, basement...I can never find what I want when I want it. :) and it also reminds me of my art space, which is in perpetual mess unless I clean it and don't make any art. Smile again. I like this post and seeing another part of your house Elizabeth. Hugs-Erika
Good work on clean ups. That bamboo looks tricky. Yikes.
Kudos to you for organizing your stuff in the way that best suits the way you work. Loved the cat funnies.
Thanks for the smiles!
I remember being amazed you were able to get rid of the bamboo. I'd love to invite a possum to our patio but not inside a shed lol Our garage has room for some storage -the little charcoal grill, patio gardening equipment, the garbage can, The Husband's Christmas decorations from his distance house...- but also 2 cars lol. It'd be nice to have more of it for storage, but we're not down to one car yet.
Isn't it a wonderful feeling to get things organized in a way that suits you!
Well done on the garage clean up. That was hard graft.
The catt funnies made me smile. Kate x
Oh my gosh. You are working so hard. I'm worn out just seeing everything you're doing.
Lots of funnies today:)
Your cleanups are always very impressive, whether it's clutter or bamboo! I'm confused at your mention of "we were in lock down in both 2019 and 2020" -- what happened in summer of 2019? Our city used to have occasional large trash pickup days but never any more, you have to drive stuff to the dump or hire a service to do it.

Good luck with your garage! Everything is always more work and takes longer than we think--lol! Perfect time with the curbside pickup!
Great jokes!! :)
Great funnies Elizabeth My brother in Indiana used to live in a city that had a clean up like this-that is really nice to have, never lived where they do this. Must feel great to get things straightened and organized and before winter too Stay cool if you have this heat wave too and Happy weekend Kathy
We got rid of bamboo too and it was not a job for the faint at heart. I thought it was pretty when I planted it...Loved the funnies. I hope you have a nice weekend.
I love how you have this neighborhood cleaning day -- especially with the junk pick-up after. I'm impressed with all you have done and how everything has looked. Well done, Elizabeth! That's a lot of hard work.
Looks like a job well done.
