Clean up day # 3

Goodbye tree in the backyard. I went over to the backyard neighbors to help clean up the tree limbs that fell from our tree into their backyard. Her son Jeff was there and said he likes to cut down trees so he ended up cutting down the entire tree. I had Carter come over and help me drag it all out to the front yard and when the neighbors came around to pick up trees they took it all. We had such good neighbors.

There was a pigeon cowering by the garage. It was banded on both feet. I picked it up and set it in a plastic bucket by the front door. I gave it some water and called animal control to see what to do. They said it's someone's pet and it's tired, just give it some water and it will rest and then leave. A few minutes later it was pecking on my front door. I opened the door and it walked in. I put it back out and eventually it flew away.

Hot tub was/is a mess. My arms still hurt from lifting out all those buckets of water. We are going to have to get a new cover.

Somehow Vally's bird house is still standing.

Sean had an actual Utah studies assignment where he had to identify 5 natural disasters in Utah and then research two and write reports. He chose wind storms and earthquakes. Afterwards for recess he and Tyson went outside and took apart the downed fence.

They had some unique techniques for moving the wood. We still have to load up the wood and take it to the dump.

 

This is Centerville Park. The picture doesn't portray the amount of green waste there. It stretches the entire parking lot. The National Guard is there directing traffic. We went to dump a load of leaves. The guy next to us had a dump truck and he said it was the 11th load he had brought from his neighborhood.
