Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Every Bloomin' Thing-- Early November

Sadly, the outside is about done for this season.

All tress except the Bradford pears have lost leaves. The Bradfords are just now changing into some pretty yellows (one of them) and the other two into reds.

I've been raking the 14 pine trees (12 white pine) and getting a nice straw mulch in the pine islands.

The burn pile has been a problem. We can only burn on the weekends in October and November. I've burned some twice, but having big problems with all the rain we've been getting.

I still have some color in the mums, but that's about it for the flowers as well.

I actually had to rake leaves for the first time ever (not bad after 17 years). It seemed that all the trees dropped all at once. No more going out and importing the leaves for that great smokey fall smell. Nothing like the smell of burning leaves.
