Rubbish, Duck, Flower, Flower

Today is Spring Cleanup in our village. Everyone takes their no-longer-useful items and kicks them to the curb. Well we would kick them to the curb if we had one. We have sidewalks, a ditch, and then the street. Anyway, I digress, the whole point I'm trying to make is this day is all about rubbish. Get it? Rubbish?

Yesterday, Hubs hauled a year's worth of accumulated rubbish out to the ditch. Those items included the old grill, misshapened tomato cages,  and decorative fencing, an old full-of-holes trash can, and other items too numerous to mention. 

This morning, our huge pile has morphed into a tiny pile. The scavengers were out in force, proving that old saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure." As I've said before, sometimes gems can be found in a garbage heap. I guess some people dug through our rubbish and found something of value. 

Hopefully, the offerings below will not be considered rubbish...

...like handsome Mr. Mallard

I don't know what kind of tree this is, but it is right outside the office window. It makes for a beautiful view each spring.

And last, but not least, this orchid.
