Both Herb and I worked outside yesterday, it was still very frosty and cold but we tackled the leaves on the front porch with a vengeance...He with the shop vac and I with a broom, soapy hot water and a cleaning rag...I love the front porch on our nearly 100 year old house...But it is a leaf, dirt and spider web magnet, among other things...Now that our "Nuisance" cat is dead, we no longer have the accumulated cat hair that she deposited every where or the raccoons and neighboring dogs, that were attracted to her food dish...So maybe we can clean it periodically and keep it presentable for when we have front door guests...Herb then continued on to trim down more perennials in the front yard and I worked on the sunny deck, where the temperature turned warm...How nice it was to finish the last of the repotting, deadheading and moving planters next to the house for the winter, in shirt sleeves...Snow from over a week ago still covers much of the lawn and some of our trees are hanging onto their leaves...Another sunny day is forecast for today but changes abruptly to mostly cloudy with chances of snow everyday next week...Fall is quickly turning into winter, although the calendar says different.
I met Pat for a walk at her end of the lake, we trudged to the trailhead, end of the road, all up hill...It was warm, sunny, yet invigorating...I arrived back home where Herb had sauerkraut, brots and mashed potatoes ready to go on the table for dinner...How nice.
So I was in bed early and up at 4am to the moon wading through clouds but still illuminating our valley for one more night... Hugs to all.... OWAV:)
