Yesterday’s good weather provided an opportunity to start Fall cleanup, one of my least favorite chores, but being outside is always better than inside, no matter what.
I removed most of the gone-by’s from the flower boxes and the garden by the fence, and did some raking and lawn mowing.
It was the first time in about two months that I felt confident enough to put my bad leg to use, and it did very well.
I put the wrong kind of gas in the lawn mower, but Peter was able to clear it and get it running. James kept me company for a little while, offering water and conversation while I swept the street.
The back yard at Edgewater needs serious blow-down raking before I can do the lawn. The oak trees in the front still have a lot of leaves.
It’s raining today, but supposed to be better tomorrow.
