All week long I've put off dealing with the leaves.
Fall is my FAVORITE time of the year but it does have challenges.
Leaves from four maple trees being one.
About 10 am I put on these ugly shoes
The ones I wear when I mow, can't you tell?
They were once white now mostly green.
Anyway, I mow/raked the front yard.
Hauled six - I think - wagon loads of leaves back to the garden.
First load went on the blueberries.
Hope that keeps the squirrels from digging in the peat moss!
When finished, I started on the side yard when---OOPS
I ran out of gas!
(too bad, so sad.)
So I had to go get more.
Tomorrow I will mow the side and back yards.
Most of the leaves are on the ground, but I might still need to mow one more time.
Now for the final part of that title.
The election.
I cannot remember feeling so anxious in a very long time!
Nor feeling that anxiety over so many days.
The longer it went on the less I could focus on anything.
I finished off a whole bottle of whiskey in the past 10 days!
Now that it's official and Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr is our next president and Kamala Harris our next vice-president it has eased some.
Still waiting to see what temper tantrum 45 and the Republicans have.
(All the noise so far has been about illegal voting/counting which is just so wrong.)
I don't expect him to leave easily.
The Secret Service may have to escort him out.
I expect demonstrations from his supporters, and some of those may become violent.
Still some anxiety there.
I have done some sewing.
The hash tag top is ready for borders and then sandwiching.
I got out the big blocks and will lay them out today to begin sashing and assembly.
Izzy's stocking is coming along.
All good at this moment!
Now I'm going to clean myself up and put these ugly shoes on!
Then it's off to the studio!
Deciduous trees are beautiful but do create nore work for you, hope you get the petrol and can carry on. I have ugly shoes for outside too!! Mine are old with holes runners 😃. So good to hear the election has been resolved, phew, it has been on our news for weeks. Hopefully things will calm soon although rousing up trouble seems to be the things to do for the one who lost.
ReplyDeleteI do't mind the leaves at this house and am grateful that I have no oak trees (and so no acorns to deal with!)
DeleteI think the whole world breathed a sigh of relief when Joe finally reached that magic number! Just hope Trump doesnt cause too much trouble between now and January. We have lots of trees so many leaves here to rake, fortunately the weather has mostly been good so it has been pleasant to be outside. xx
ReplyDeletebusy busy in the garden......good to have the mulch.....I would have joined you in the whisky....finally that Biden is in but yes I too worry about what the idiot will do before he leaves.....good luck on unifying america......always good to have to lawns mown....
ReplyDeleteGood job with the leaves and the mowing. I don't have any deciduous trees here to worry about, and do get someone in to mow my lawns. The whole world has been watching your election news with you.
ReplyDeleteUsually my grandsons mow for me (and I pay them!) This year I've done it due to THE VIRUS! I am grateful I don't have any Oak trees at this house-so I don't have to deal with ACORNS!
DeleteThat’s a lot of leaves! Soon you’ll have snow I guess. We are having some very hot days after some cold ones. Monday will be 40 degC. It’s anybody’s guess (we’re looking at you Bureau of Meteorology) so who knows what we’ll get after that. Christmas is right around the corner.
