Part of this weekend's tasks were a big clean-up of the side yard. \u00a0We've had a woodpile here for 15-odd years, and it was taking up about twice this footprint and had a tarp that was about 3\/4 gone.<\/p>\n

Some restacking, some reclaiming of naturally-formed mulch on the concrete, a new tarp, and, hey-presto, set for the winter and<\/i> room for the outside trash cans. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Okay, not impressive to anyone who didn't see the "before" picture (which I did not actually take), but I'm pretty proud of it.<\/p>\n

My life is chaotic. It's nice to bring occasional order to it.<\/p><\/div>\n
