Today was the last day to cleanup the yard

before the weather takes a nose dive into 

the 30s and before the east winds pickup

again!

I took 6 full Pickle buckets of pine needles

from the east trees.  More could be picked up

but it's still to wet.   So after this next storm

comes in I'm sure there will be more needles

to pick up from Sable's area.  

I also picked up 1/4 of a bucket of leaves!

Yes, they are still coming down out of the 

trees to the north.

Time for some trees to go!!

Today I took another 2 pickle buckets

off Sable's gravel area.  Plus another

1/4 of a bucket of leaves.

Today was another clean the roof day

before the rain hit over night.  I took 

2 full pickle buckets of needles and 

1/2 leaves buckets off the roofs.  Before

I cleaned up the leaves from the last of

our trees.

Why remove all the leaves?  I can't do

the leaf molds that happen if they are

allowed to stay over winter.  Molds and 

pine are on the top of the Allergy list. 

So tomorrow will be a bad allergy day!!

Cross Stitch Time!!

 Now that the yard is done being cut back

and the weather is starting to be to cold 

for me to be out.  It's time to do some 

cross stitch and keep busy inside.  I 

still have to go out and vac up leaves

and pine needles but with it being to

wet they will have to wait until it drys

some!!

Here is the first of this year's projects.

Changing Opening Date

 I have decided to change the opening dates

for 2023, to May 1 because of Climate Change!

The gardens will close Oct. 31 our usual date.

We are still asking for folks to make an 

appointment, so we can take time for you!

You are welcome to stand at the curb but 

know I'm really busy in the yard so I may

not have time to invite you up.   This past

year was extremely busy with the watering

due to the heat wave we had.

If you are interested in our veggie garden

produce, please make your requests early

so we will have enough veggies.  Planning

will start in May around the 15th. 

You can leave a comment here.

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
