Keeping true to my goal of having something blooming with big color all the way between April and October, the yard has a lot of color right now.
Several hundred yellow and orange mums are still in bloom. The sedum have the dark heads and yellow stalks. Burning bushes are burning red. Plus, my lone remaining Bradford pear tree has just gotten it autumnal tones. However, I do have several Bradford pear tree seedlings growing.
Just finished raking pine straw up into my two pine islands; great mulch, but a whole lot of raking, especially with all the wind we've been having so that pine straw was spread out over a really bit area. Hoping that I cut the grass for the last time.
Rolled up the front yard hose onto the reel (200 feet of hose) and will get to the backyard hose later this month after I finish burning limbs and twigs.
We've been having a great Indian Summer around here with temperatures in the lower 70s for the last six days. Last year this time, we had already had a Halloween surprise snow storm that dropped six inches on the ground and then there was another surprise Veterans Day six inches. No snow this year, but we have had a couple frosts.
