Raining Leaves

At least I am at work while I watch this, and not at home.
Our stockpile of trees with leaves to drop has significantly diminished this year. A few weeks ago I did a fairly good pickup of the to-be-yard area. I probably need to repeat the process again, before the to-be-yard is installed. That project has stalled. My ambition to work in a muddy area, in the rain, is limited. I keep hoping to get a good weather report for a Saturday. If I don’t get one this weekend we will have to just move forward regardless.

The leaves I am watching are all yellow maple and big-leaf maple. The parking lot had been pretty much cleaned yesterday, and today it was all yellow when we arrived. The rain today is probably helping to knock them down, and it might even be more than breezy outside.

Our local inhabitants made an appearance yesterday as well. (3 does and 1 buck)

Oh – and those d**n Yankees. Congratulations Dad – bragging rights for the next year. At least it went to six games. Maybe the weather will make them push it back into October, where it belongs. Regardless of the outcome, the Series gives us opportunities to get together and hang out with our friends.
