Weekend projects


We made some modest improvements to our home here in the woods on Crowley's Ridge this weekend.
Saturday, we hosed a winter's worth of dust and dirt off of the exterior and knocked down several wasps' nests from the front porch ceiling. We also added a squirrel-proof bird feeder to the wild bird feeding station, which already included a hummingbird feeder. So far, we've seen one hummingbird, but the previous owners told us to expect flocks of them. They said they were having to refill their multiple hummingbird feeders on a daily basis, so we shall see.
Today's project was the purchase and application of 10 25-pound bags of red wood mulch - not that highly suspect rubber mulch Wal-Mart is pushing - around the front of the house.
Here are HDR images of both projects and, yes, the color saturation is cranked up a bit. The red mulch isn't quite this vivid.
