All the leaves fall.

Well, not all really.  Some of the oaks are doing the oak thing and holding on to them, awaiting the new buds or sufficient wind to dislodge them.  But there were more than enough to pretty much cover all our hard-earned grass, meaning raking had to be done before the new lawn was smothered.

And it was done.  Result: aching muscles.  And a strong desire to figure out what equipment will best serve us out in the yard to deal with said yard.  And to acquire it before this season returns.

Happy Fall , everyone!

Of course the other thing about leaving for awhile was that this was the first time we’ve been away from the newplace for any real length of time.  It was swell to come back.   Despite the way-too-many loose ends, the place has a real homey feel to it.  So nice!

Soon there will be the first decorating for Christmas.
