As always, finishing touches out front made a difference 

once Tom weed-ate and then I raked. 

I hadn't noticed how much Joy & Dick's mailbox is leaning 

until I saw the above picture.

And speaking of noticing.... <g>

It took a while for Tom to tame 37th Ave -

and "possibly" <g> I should have left more room in the trash can

 to allow for the resulting amount of debris when I raked?

Also got one of my "new" aloe plants hung today.
