12/5/2022 In The Greenhouse!

 

B. Shorty's Variegated

Seedpods!!

SNOW!!

 As I was getting ready to go out to

finish the last that didn't get done

yesterday.  The wind kicked up and

then it started to snow.   The weather

report stated .10 inches of snow and 

it was pretty in white but it's to warm 

up later this evening so it maybe

gone in the morning.

Taken early in the morning, it snowed all

day!  Nice day to stay in and work on some

other projects!!  I day of rest.

12/2/2022 High Winds Again!!

After spending my day vacuuming up

Sable's gravel area today making sure

it's was clean and taking 4 full bags of

pine needles off this area.  Again high 

winds over night!!  I noticed that there

were pine needles on the deck when I

closed the curtains already at 5PM.

Guess whom will be cleaning up again!

Still getting leaves from the north tree,

too! 

12/3/2022

Well I spent my day on the roof of the 

house to find that our 6 inch gutters were

totally full of pine needles and leaves!

After blowing the needles downward to

the gutters I blew out the gutters junk to 

the ground so I was able to pick it up safely.

After that I vac off the shed roof and ended

up afterwards blowing off what I couldn't 

pickup and then blew out the gutters.

I removed 6 full bags of mulched pine needles

and one bag of leaves.  Not done I have the

gravel area behind the classic carport and three

flower beds on the north fence line

West Fence

 This is the year that the Hydrangeas need 

to be cut down as the blooms this year were

to heavy and pulled the limbs to the ground.

Still working on them but due to all the leaves

in the bin they both are full.  So I'll have to wait

a week to finish.

When I removed the one to the left of what is 

still there I found a lot of the grass that blew 

through the fence when it was hit and it was 

open for a month.  All I can say is I'm glad 

those trees are gone.  I'm still finding wood

chips and pine cones due to that area couldn't

be cleaned up due to the size of the shrubs.

Finally able to finish the cutting back in the

yard.   Just a few more things to tidy up but

they can wait.

11/30/2022 Predicting Snow and High Winds

The weather report this evening 

stated snow is possible on the 

valley floor and high winds.  

We shall wait and see if this 

forms!  

No snow on the valley floor 

but one heck of a wind storm 

and rain!   44 this morning

and snow around us.  Now

we are holding our breath for

Thursday's storm.  

I spent my outside picking

up leaves!  I vaccumed up the 

whole yard and will have a 

couple spots that I can't reach

to do by hand.  It is so nice to

get my yard back!

We are currently up to 16 bags

of leaves that we have taken off

the yard for this year!  With another

15 bags of pine needles.

This morning after one hour cleaning

and removing 4 full bags of pine needles

here is a clean area for Sable!

 

I am unable to get to the garden beds as 

they are still to wet to vac up.

12/3/2022 

Lets add another 6 bags of pine needles 

and 1 bag of leaves to the count.  More 

to be added on Sunday.

11/27/2022 Another Windy Stormy Day

While out trying to cleanup yet another

storm hit.  After being pelted with ice 

pelts it was time to stop until it cleared.

I ended up re-vaccuming the whole area

and then able to clean up one of our trees.

I took 4 bags off the north yard of maple

leaves and will have to wait until it dries

to cleanup Sable's area of the needles.

This area was cleaned up just 40 hours ago.  It 

was also littered with limbs and leaves. 

11/25/2022 Rain and Windy Day!!

This morning I was out and picked up

the yard (3/4) bag and as I finished the 

job the rain started falling.  Time to go

in after picking up the mess.  Mid after

noon the wind kickup and my yard is 

trashed again.  I will not go out and 

pickup until it dries.

More when I can get out to pick up.

So this morning 11/26/2022 I picked

up a full bag of leaves on the north

yard.
