FALL HAS FELL

Technically, Autumn is still in effect for another 25 days or so, but it's almost over. We've had a great one - with the last week being in the 60s. But this upcoming Friday, we are slated to have snow and highs in the 30s. I can't really complain (like that has ever stopped me), because in theory, we have cut off one month of winter. Normally, we would have snow by Halloween-y, and temps in the 30s that would last until late March.

This extended bonus period helped with our leaf collection. Hell, the trees even held onto them suckers later this year - or at least that is my perception. They are now all off the trees....raked or mulched or bagged or taken to the street for pick-up. I've got the sore back to prove it.

I'm ready for snow-fall! Ok, not really. Somewhere in the last few years I've become a freeze-baby. I don't give a crap how much it snows, as long as it's not frigid. And by frigid, of course I mean below 58 degrees.

Below are some before and after shots of the yard. What a difference 10 days makes.
