Did I mention? My ash trees in back finally decided it was time. Even the small Japanese maple got the spirit.
In front however, it is still an on-going project. Had my leaf guys come by Saturday for gutters (windows and fountain, too). Thursday lawn and leaves was done by the lawn crew. They did a super job - which was already being filled back up by sunset. But they knew the routine and said it will probably be two more trips before they call it quits for the season. Yesterday (Tuesday) the city disposal truck (LRS) came through with their street sweeper for 6 sweeps (3 in each direction); they had the road looking like a road again.
Of course, with the driveway back to being covered again, already, the clean road didn't last for long. I sat in my garage, recovering my begonias from their pots for quite a while (9 hanging planters of begonias), watching Mother nature laugh at us goofy nature lovers. I am on her side!
As
tsk said, we've been grateful for a week of nice. I've divided it into days of chore lists. Today's not bad only because I have normal living chores. Grocery shopping will be later. Noon today the ladies of the block are doing our monthly thing; neighbor Julie chose to meet 11:30 at PoppinFresh. Then groceries. Then feed the birdies. They kept flying past me yesterday giving me nasty looks. I hope to fit in my blueberry breakfast cake tonight for tomorrow morning.
Then tomorrow, MY LAST DAY OUTSIDE, I'll clean out my big urns! Finally, put them on the patio with all the other "stuff" under the tarp for winter protection, and last, last, last cover the patio table and chairs.
WHEW But it was fun.
