For the first time in days, the sun was out and it was not raining. Jeanine and I took advantage of the weather to do some spring yard work. Among other tasks, I removed the straw waddles that were in place to prevent soil erosion while our plantings took root. Jeanine said that our neighbors might be interested in reusing these. Let’s just say I was a bit skeptical. Even more so when I explained how hard they would be to transport. They are bulky and heavy, especially when wet. Our neighbor suggested draping them over the roof of his car. It is an idea I would have never considered but it certainly proved effective as shown in this photo from one of our security cameras.
