The end of October and it's almost that time.
What has been happening here:
Jon found some chanterelle mushrooms. We don't usually have many of those around here so that was a really great find. They were delicious.
Yes, I have a few leaves to rake and blow away. It's still on the list although I have already done some of them. For some reason they keep falling out of the trees?
This is Jon's last big project. This slash pile is huge and he was very particular about when and how this pile was going to get burned. It had to be the right day with no wind with the ground wet enough. Also had to be a day when it was not going to rain that night so that the pile would burn clean.
He had a hose available for water if necessary and his rakes and shovels to work the pile and our friend Bill to help. It burned without an issue although it took some time. The ladder was part of the pile. Time for that one to go.
Sorry, you have to turn your head sideways to watch part of this video. It's still good tho.
There are a few things to do outside before we're set for winter, but we're getting close. I have one raised bed to weed and then cover plus a little bit of fencing to keep the deer from eating my plants in the early spring.
I am very happy to have it done especially since all of it aggravates my back problems. It seems that health issues jump from one thing to another these days. PT has been recommended so I will be seeing my favorite PT, Paul Lund.
Saturday we all get ready to do our "fall back". Ugh! A true sign that winter is on the way.
We're cheering for the Blue Jays in the series! We even managed to watch that 18 inning game.
They say there's another one of those atmospheric rivers headed our way. When you wish for rain around here, it's one of those "be careful what you wish for" moments.
Happy Halloween from the past!
