And get on with all of these leaves, and put the lawn to bed before the snow comes along to put a halt to everything for the rest of the year.
Things I did this morning; take down all seven inflatables, stakes, pins and all. Dry them, and drain them if rain water accumulation. Put them back up on the top of the metal rack. Our newest edition, the large green snake was boxed up, and all the sections, stakes and cords got filed away together over top of the garage door.
Dig up, prune, and dry all twelve Dahlias, which go into a box stuffed with towels and left in the basement for the winter.
Plant nearly three hundred tulip bulbs in various stages of decay, and disrepair in hopes at least a handful survive until the spring to add a pop of pizzazz to our front garden beds.
Take up, and mulch a month’s worth of fallen leaves from our fairly sizeable front yard. I hate doing leaves when the Halloween decorations are up because the guide wires are a tripping hazard. So I did the leaves and grass before erecting them all. And now it’s all torn down 8 can attempt a final grass cutting tomorrow if the weather holds. I want at least one more before the snow comes.
Now it’s after two, and I’m going to slake my thirst, eat some lunch, and crash from last night emotional roller coaster of a Game Seven of the World Series where the Jays lost by one run in extra innings. Damn. Double damn. Spent five hours in a bar with friends to watch it which was great. But not the outcome we were hoping for. Oh well, maybe next year!
Not much of a lazy Sunday if you ask me.
