Falling leaves .... my new “dumpster fire” status project! The maples are losing leaves fast (and turning red!) so I need to dig out the compost pile (like tomorrow!) to make room for this year’s leaves.
No garden time this week - dad had doc appointments Tues/Wed/Thur & the pastor came to visit Friday. He has a doc appointment Monday & then family from FL is stopping in for a visit Tuesday. Whew!! The appointments are all early afternoon - keeps me from going out & getting dirty in the garden in the a.m. & we get home late enough that it pretty much knocks out the afternoon for work as well.
Spent this morning at a church yard sale - got to talk to some folks & enjoyed myself quite a bit. Sold a few things, too .... turns out there was a ‘Fall Run’ in the nearby town that had traffic in a snarl, so visitors to the sale were way down from last year. It was still a gorgeous morning to be outside.
Okie dokie .... found something ‘new’ to me in the “Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots” book. Who has heard of making ‘walking sticks’ out of cabbage (for those who have not read the book!)?? Fascinating!
