Leaves

Yesterday I took a video of the leaves falling.  They are so pretty.  My gardener comes twice a month, he came today and picked up a lot of leaves.  Two more bags worth of leaves have fallen since he left!

I love Autumn and I love my trees!

Leaves

The leaves are falling, falling, falling!  I've lived here for three leaf falling seasons.  This year, I've finally got it figured out!  I've been working hard raking, filling up bags, and watching more fall!  It helps that I can train my daycare babies to help me and that they are all at a age where we can spend lots of time outside!!!  

There are four pecan trees in the front of my home and two on the side, so lots and lots of leaves!  

I'm a little tired today!  I need to go stretch and get

ready for some more leaf collecting!

Memorials

Our new memorial in our yard.

The Painted tree with pieces of wisteria bark on the ground around it.  

Maybe one day they will be painted too!

Piles

I got everything pretty much cleaned up after the Trellis Fall.  It feels good to have it done, but I still wish there was something out there to replace it.  It feels so empty.

Just a note:  I think I need to get these sharpened

for my dad.  I pulled an arm muscle trying to 

use them on the wisteria!

Small pile left.  I need to figure out how

to break it down into smaller pieces!

Trellis Time

Happy Thanksgiving!  Today I am thankful for my family and a little time to work on my trellis!

Scary!

Some silly videos of me knocking it down:

Aaah, that felt really good!

Break down time!

Found this little guy!  Brown Recluse, I think!

Good thing I smashed him with a stick!

The piles!

I am also thankful for having the next four days

free to remove the piles from my yard!

The remains of the Wisteria!

I will see if it grows back in the Spring!

A view without the trellis.  Sad.

But I think one day I will get the one

that I want.  I am just happy that it

is safer in my yard now.

Podium

I decided to paint it Jack-o-Lantern Orange!

I like it!  It will look nice in our Rock Garden someday.

Fall Garden

Our Fall Garden is growing!  

Radish, lettuce, and cucumbers.

Beans and lettuce.

Squash and beans.

Oliver smashed one of our pumpkins!

Cucumbers!  

Rosemary

I'm really glad I planted a Fall garden this year!
