Green Waste

The mornings are so nice and cool it seemed like a shame to be stuck indoors doing chores. I decided I would clean up the area where the The Man has been splitting logs.

But first I needed to get the Green Waste bin from the main road. The Man is so organized with his tools and equipment it was easy to find what I needed.

 


 I don't know how to drive the tractor but the Subaru worked just fine to get the empty bin.



We have a mountain of oak stumps after all the tree-trimming.

Only the good pieces of wood - straight, clean, ~ 12 inches - need to be kept. I stacked those and discarded the other stuff: rotten wood, small or irregular pieces, bark.

 

 

The Man will use the tractor to haul the full Green Waste bin down to the main road. He doesn't like me to help when he's throwing the split wood onto the pile but I can do the clean-up when he's not around.

It's very satisfying work.
