      I'm sure that there was a house there at one point. You can look at the location on Historic Aerials. Most of Northern Idaho has Aerials that date back to the 1950s.

I did an okay job however it winds up looking like a moat ( like 2 inches wide) but it's now done. Everyone loves that automatic broom. I want it. I love Foxglove. It'll grow back. Keep on truckin.

    Thanks for protecting your self by wearing gloves, eye protection and a breathing filter. You need not expose yourself to molds, fungus and other parasites that might be waiting dormant in dry leaves and tall grasses. Wishing you and your bride a blessed week filled with gentle rains, seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace brother

    I liked how you cleaned up the gutter of the streett and the sidewalk area, but I have to admit I was a bit sad to see the wildflower meadow go. It was probably nice for bees etc. I'm a bit weird - I like things a little bit wild in Nature. Anyone know what the flowers were? I saw mauve/blue ones and a few pink ones.

    • @philtucker1224
      @philtucker1224 Рік тому

      Ironically it wasn’t any sort of wildflower meadow, it was just an abandoned and unloved suburban plot dragging down the security and values of all the nearby properties. (Fortunately there are millions of square miles of natural wildflower meadows all over the country so don’t worry yourself too much! )😁🖖

    Thank you for protecting your lungs by wearing that mask/respirator. I watch a lot of people who are doing good things like you do (cleaning up lots and yards that people have abandoned and/or can't take care of themselves and can't afford to hire someone to do it for them), and far too many of them don't mask up and are breathing in all that dust and particles and who knows what kinds of chemicals that may be on the ground? Yes, I believe there was a house or some kind of structure there at one time, otherwise it would be pointless to have steps and a sidewalk leading into the lot!

Remember I scolded you before and I can do that because I'm probably old enough to be your great grandmother!!!
