Frost on the rose and frost on the boys' backs this morning. Winter is coming. Time to replace the worn out Muck boots before I freeze my toes.
Yard work has slowed to mostly keeping up with weeds but we moved the Twisty Baby Locust that broke in a wind storm two years ago to a spot in the back yard where it can be given special attention and put a new Sugar Maple where it was out front. Looking forward to the maple's fall colors.
Bob's having trouble with his back again (another surgery probably needed) but does what he can to help with chores. I have an itch to replace a flowering currant that's in the manzanita bed with a James Roof Silktassel - if it's still at the nursery - and that will probably be the last of the yard improvements for the year.
Maybe I can put some time into working with clay.
