Along with venerating good Queen Victoria last holiday weekend, we had company for two nights – barbecued, bonfired and drank pink wine – and also carried on with our list of things to accomplish before our first renters of the season arrive next month. Chief among these is yard clean up.
As a team, we wrestled most of the newly-felled firewood into a woodpile behind the (full) woodshed.

Then Cottager hauled a good portion of the debris down from the top of the property while I continued to groom the garden.

All of these jobs are on schedule to be completed next weekend, when we will have the use of a truck (Thanks Gary!) to make a run to the dump and probably a few to the green waste depot. Meanwhile the garden is looking spectacular.

Lisa, the garden looks great! You guys have really outdone yourselves. Retaining wall is quite an accomoplishment as well Randy. I don’t know where you get your energy, but enjoy it while it is available. I can tell you are really enjoying your cottage.
Love, Mom
