How I Spend My Day.

 Morning

Noon

8 bags of mulched leaves were removed.

This is an every day event and I will say

none of these are our leaves.

11/11/2022

More wind and rain today and I removed

3 bags, I have to do it twice before I was

to tired.  

11/12/2022

Another day of cleanup, I removed

3 1/2 bags of mulched leaves off our

property by noon.  If you look out there

now you will know I'll be back out there

on Sunday!  I even blew out the circle

to have a clean street again.

11/16/2022

Still cleaning up daily and today was

a real mess but the yard is starting to

bare!  Today was a 45 1/2 gallon bag 

full of leaves!  Windy over night and

they say for the next few days.  I hope

that all the leaves will fall with this 

wind storm.  Temps are dropping so

that also helps.  I'm finally getting to 

our stuff to cut back, 2 weeks to late.

11/17/2022

I went out and picked up another 45

gallon bag of leaves from the north.

with 35 to 40 MPH winds more will

be headed downward.

Went back out after lunch and started

to pickup the west side until I was 

pelted with Pine needles.  The pollen

was so bad one couldn't breath.  After

one bag full I had to stop and at least

try to get a path out to the gravel for

Sable.  I picked up 1/4 bag of needles

alone.  I know what I'll be doing on

Friday!

$2.50 per package or I will trade

if you have something of interest.

Please be patient. Will list more

when they become available. 

Let me know what you want and 

how many.

Sorry if you are looking for named

varieties I try to list what I know as

I do a lot of trading for what we grow.

One needs to know I will not post my

hybridized pods, all are open pollinated

that we list.  Seed companies are the 

place to get named varieties.  One also

needs to know some species do not come

true to what the mother plant is when 

open pollinated.  If you have any 

questions please contact me.  I do list

by what the mom plant is.

This will be the last year for seeds!

I will try to post photos of the plant

when I get the fall cleanup done.

***2/1/2023***

Now closed, no more orders!!

I am adding the seeds back into

the garden beds.

Merry Christmas

11/6/2022

Yep it's Christmas time in the hood already!  

Let's just bypass Thanksgiving and put the 

lights up and turn them on!   But we forgot

to remove the Halloween pumpkins??  

Sorry but Christmas Holiday season isn't 

until after Thanksgiving.  Look around do

any of your other neighbors have their 

Christmas lights on?? 

Holiday etiquette?

Yet Another Storm With Wind

 11/03/2022  

I cleaned the yard due to there was a big

storm coming and with the amount of rain

they were saying was coming I had to mow.

First, I vac up the leaves before mowing.

I love the yard when it's all cleaned up!

Friday the storm hit and no way would

we be out in the pouring rain!  Then the 

wind hit and the yard was trashed yet again.

Saturday 11/5/2022

It took me 4 trips outside to clean up the 

yard today.  8 totally full bags were 

removed!  photo to come

Sunday 11/6/2022

It took me a few trips out to get the clean

up for the day done.  A total of 9 full bags

were taken off the yard today.  

Monday 11/7/2022

A day of rest as the knee was acting up in 

the morning.  It took putting BioFreeze

on the knee twice before it stopped hurting.

I was able to go out and cut some of the 

blooms off the Hydrangeas to get the

yard debris bins full.  Maybe tomorrow I

can cleanup the yard again.

Tuesday 11/8/2022

Yet another day of cleaning up the yard.

I have the front yard 75% cut back and

cleaned up.  Still need to cut the grasses

back and strip the rest of the roses.  Then 

vac up the leaves.  The nanas will come

down maybe tomorrow.

Then I vac up 3 bags of leaves and cleaned

a path for Sable to her area due to the wind

blowing, not a good day to clean out her

gravel area.  

6 Month Checkup

After surgery on the knee went well.  They

took 6 x-rays and  I was able to walk away

without an injections!!   I still have some 

issues but I need to learn to stop and ice!

The sports doc said she could hear grinding

when she moved the knee.  Ice will be my

good friend!  Still no kneeling.  She showed

me the x-rays and explained what was going

on and why the pain I was still having.  The

x-rays also showed issues starting with the 

left knee in a comparison.  

Then in the evening the report came in.  

Folks take care of your knees!!
