Cleaning The Birdbath!

Today I took a little time and cleaned the birdbath outside. This was bugging me because I take time to feed the birds and squirrels and the bird bath hasn't been cleaned since last fall (if then).

I do have other outside work to do but I'm doing that in a certain way and working my way around the house. There are the hedges (both front and back) to be cut. I also have some trashbags full of debri like branches that aren't picked up with the regular trash and they require a (fee-based)special trash pickup where I have to call the township and schedule a trash pickup. Since the weather has gotten warmer the grass has been growing and needs to be cut. There are some weeds that have to be cut down (and the longer I leave the weeds, the bigger they grow). I also want to start my garden in the backyard so the ground has to be cleared.

Actually it sounds like a lot but as long as I'm in the right mood for it it will be okay. And there is something to be said for working outside in nice weather.

But its the birdbath that was bothering me. Mind you I know its not just the birds that use the birdbath. I have seen squirrels and the neighborhood cats use it too.

So along with the inside work that has to be done there is the outside work that has to be done too. I'll have to hire someone to cut down some of the more thicker weeds that have grown so tall but other than that the rest I can do myself.
