Museum yard clean-up

I went over to the museum in Coleman this a.m. at 10 and all we did from then until 3 p.m. was clean up the branches that bit the dust when the snow storm took them down last Sept. 9th. You can't imagine what a mess there was. There was Wendy, Rudy, Donna, Bruno, Len, Lowry, Barbara and Tony. The last two were just there for a little while. We either dragged or moved the branches in two wheel barrows until someone suggested backing a half ton onto the grounds. That was a BIG improvement. Some of the branches were tossed over the chainlink fence by the people who lived above the treed area. Two of the girls pitched some of it back into the yard. Someone also disposed of the dog poo over the fence. Not the nicest neighbours! I guess they thought the space was public property and because it had so many downed branches, didn't think anyone would notice a few more. The spring garbage pick-up starts Monday and starts with Coleman so we had to get it out or pay for it to be taken away if it couldn't be put out as regular garbage. Dad brought home two sets of Xcountry skis and poles which we'll take to the Thrift Shop in October.
