There are certain times in home ownership when you just have to hunker down and get'r done.
Yard work...for example, particularly in spring and fall. For me, yesterday was one of those days.
I'm blessed with a beautiful back yard so I can't complain too much about having to spend the day out there.
Time to rake the leaves up!
It was chilly but I bundled up and doubled up on sweaters and mitts and got to work raking all these bits of gold up.
Lulu, though not much help in the raking, bagging and mowing department, is very helpful in the assessment and moral support department.
After making a number of piles here and there, the bagging commenced.
I found one last rosebud. She looked a little frostbitten but I snipped her off and brought her inside, hoping she would open up.
Raking and bagging done, it was time to move on to mowing, hopefully for the last time this season. And here is the final product friends:
My husband helped take down the canopy on our gazebo and other than one last raking job and putting in the spring bulbs my work back here is done.
A cup of tea and nap were in order to rejuvenate and I'm ready to move onto the next stage of home ownership....
For the next few months it will be me, a shovel and lots of time in the driveway!
