Yard Work: Results? Hmm

Val and I joined many, if not most, Western New Yorkers taking advantage of the great weekend weather to do some yard work around the Dunne-Hosey Estates.
Despite weeds, ornamental grass and vines being cut from and garbage and leaves being cleaned from the garden, as well as eight bags and two wheelbarrows full of leaves being raked and cleared from the yard, it seems like we have to squint to see any difference.
Being a rather busy weekend (Walker Evans got to visit both Squaw Island and the Lasalle Park dog park), we didn't get to do as much around the yard as hoped, but it always feels good to get some of the work done, despite the soreness in my back thighs (hamstrings?).

I got some yardwork done last week during spring break, but we're not doing much around the pool, since a mallard duck has laid 10 eggs in a bush next to it. We're just concerned she thinks either our pool is a pond, or the neighbor's is - he has opened his inground pool. We see Daisy on and off, but apparently Donald is off with another female. Mallard males apparently do that. To them the job is done before the eggs crack.
