Fall Clean-Up Begins

I have a love-hate relationship with this time of year.  I love that the yard has given all it has all spring and summer long.  I have enjoyed the flowers and the vegetables.  But now comes the hard part.  The never ending part.  And just when I think it is all finished, the leaves on the big oak and all my neighbors leaves (JK Mr John) start falling...and that my friends is a never-ending battle.  But this year I will have help.  The chickens are getting a layer of leaves in their coops for coverage in the winter.  They say that we are going to have a really bad winter.  Hopefully the leaves will give them bugs to eat and insulation on the cold hard ground.

 

I started in the right front corner by Mr. John's and Ms. Renee's fence.  Also rearranging 'yard art' as I go.  I'll make my way slowly but surly around the perimeter of the yard first.  Then flower bed by flower bed.

Tomorrow I will gather seeds from the Cardinal vine to use for next year.  If you'd like me to send you some just leave me a note in the comment section.

Now to load in all into the back of the truck to take to be mulched.  Tomorrow back at it but not sure how much I will accomplish...almost all the yahoos will be here.  Little bits, little bits at a time and I'll have it all finished by December!
