It’s my favorite time of year in the neighborhood: Bulky Item Pickup! No more flower pictures for a while from the 2-mile running loop. Until the 31st, it’ll be treats like this:

So I’m thinking these people’s grandkids have grown too old for sand boxes and tiny carts. And their dog got a lot bigger,  and they don’t want to move things around in wheel barrows anymore. I’m not sure what that box in the back is.

Last year, I scored a two two-foot tall terra cotta frog-shaped planters during bulky item pickup. I almost threw my back out trying to get them home. They make me happy every time I drive up to the house.

Running: 1 hour and 15 minutes with 15 x 1 minute pickups
