Autumn! I love it AND dread the mess it makes. I hosted a Christmas party on the 3rd and this is how the yard looked after my sweetie finished cleaning it up.
Four days later --- this is what we see out the window. Oh my! AND - it's been raining so no chance of cleaning it up yet.
Three more days pass and it's the 10th of December. Things have dried out and we are ready to clean this up. In the words of my mother, "What a mess!"
While I clean the porch and ALL the bushes and beds, Mister gets the leaves tamed a bit.
A stop in the backyard gives us a chance to also enjoy this time of year. Do you see what I see way up in the trees? They are Cedar Waxwings and usually make their appearance in December.
Since we are out cleaning, they won't come down, but give a listen.
After 2 1/2 hours - we see the lawn again. There are still leaves on the roof, but they'll blow down soon enough.
Today's haul awaits a bulk pick-up day. Wow!
