There's been no new activity/work on the house since my last visit, but there wasn't supposed to be. The only activity I saw was that more trash had been dumped onto my 'burn pile'. And this is trash that did not come from my house. There was clothing and furniture, and other junk. Since the burn pile is behind my house and not visible from the street, I guess they thought no one would notice a little more junk. So, I've asked my handyman/junkman Jesse to haul off all of the stuff back there - the new trash and the original burn pile. My county has been under a burn ban for 3-4 months and there's no telling when it will be lifted, so I decided to have it all hauled off. There was some good rain earlier in August but not enough to lift the burn ban. I also asked Jesse to put up 'No Trespassing - No Dumping" signs. If it happens again, I'll have to report it to the sheriff's office. They probably won't be able to do anything about it, but I do want it on record that this is going on.
As I mentioned in the last post, I wanted to try to visualize where my gardens and chickens will be on my property so I took some 12" stakes with me. The ground was so hard that I couldn't get the stakes into the ground for the chicken coop/run more than an inch or two. I spray painted them bright yellow. I only did the one area, it was too hot to be out there. Maybe next time.
Gee, I hate to end this without at least one photo... My 'Sweetie'.
Till next time, never surrender, never give up, and may all your dreams come true.
