Tuesday Junking







This morning was a bit different than normal. Hubby decided we need to go junking. Now junking might not sound too interesting to anyone, until it is explained.
Hubby started off by telling me this man in the neighborhood picks up metal people have set out by the curb then he goes and sells it and makes a good living by doing this.

Hubby said each Tuesday and Wednesday people put stuff out at curb they no longer want and I saw some lumber. I want to go and pick up just down the street from us to build some more birdhouses.. So I said I want to go just to get out of house.

After he picked it up he said let’s go up and down the streets of our neighborhood and see what else we can find.  We did this for about 15 to 20 minutes and he picked up some more lumber pieces and also a  nice big birdbath someone had set at curb and did not want.

We continued for about another 15 minutes and got more wood pieces. I was so excited about the bird bath and he was excited about the wood. When we got home hubby said yep Tuesday mornings will be our Junk day, the day before the trash men come.

He unloaded birdbath in the front yard and I cleaned it out and added water, went to our local plant man in the neighborhood and bought a few lantana flowers and planted them around it. Looked so good.

There is something to say about free, it looks good in our yard. The little birds are already drinking from the birdbath. Hubby has been saying all afternoon I cannot wait until next Tuesday... and you know what I cannot either.
