Clean up

This Saturday, some friends and I took an afternoon excursion around Springfield, stopping at two different locations to clean up three different yards. Although the infamous ice storm struck over two months ago, many people still have branches down all over their properties.

Apparently there's a list of people who need their yards cleaned and volunteers can call the appropriate people to get in touch with those who need help, which is what our group leaders did.

The photographs depict, from top to bottom:

1. Evidence that I was present, if not technically working at the time the picture was taken.

2. Bird's eye view of Mark (AUS) and Robbie (USA) on the job at the messiest yard we cleaned.

3. Led by Andrew, the boys go to great lengths to find adventure and rid the roofs of fallen branches.
