THE JUNK MAN COMETH

SAT 14 MAY 2011 11:05am  Another week passes by.  The place is getting more cleaned up by the day. Moving out all the junk that's collected over the years. This is the real junk nobody would want. We have a man coming with a truck to haul it away. Last year we put out another bunch of stuff by the road and it was gone just like magic. These were items we've kept for years but now that they are gone I can't remember what any of it was. Michael, again has been very instrumental in moving and cleaning and burning.

Jackie has done a lot in clearing weeds and garlic mustard. We never did like spraying it and now you can't do that, but pulling it by hand has kept it down and eventually it should be gone. We're encouraging violets to take over. There are already large sections of them. They look good and are no maintenance.

One patch of violets

Getting closer

And closer

And closer still

I can't forget the cherry blossoms. They burst out yesterday. These are a white cherry and very tasty, when the birds leave us some. 

They look great against the foggy sky.

The thunder of the bikes has slowed today. Of course yesterday was Friday 13th  when tens of thousands of motorcycles flock to Port Dover, mostly to say they were there I guess. This was the only one this year so it was probably a large turnout. Also the 30th year I believe.
