let the work commence

i am covered in sweat, dirt, leaves, sap, and charcoal, half burnt half tan, completely exhausted.
camp work has begun.
there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes... we may have a work weekend here, but let me tell you, there's a lot more work that gets done both before and after that no one really thinks about.
clearing all the brush that's fallen into the lawn over the winter, all those broken branches...
clearing debris from the edges of said lawns and the centers. picking up all those little odds and ends that always seem to get missed in the camp wide clean ups that occur when campers and staff are here.
and that's really only the beginning. yesterday i cleared off 7 buckets of leaves from one small section of the lawn alone and there's a large burn pile sitting in the driveway waiting for the next damp day.
we haven't even begun to tackle the larger main lawn in fron of all the cabins, though i have started clearing brush from inbetween them. thursday we're re-roofing one of the cabins... that'll be fun.
sigh.
it's only just the beginning of a long work filled summer
