We will have 3 days in the 50s next week & rain predicted each one of them. We need rain badly but the temperature sounds like taunting Mother Nature.

Sunny and 46, winds at 9 MPH will lower to 3 MPH within the hour so I'll wait until then to go back to trimming down the Japanese irises. I am wishing for a mild winter like the last one.

If not I guess I'll be back to sorting Tic Tacs by color or going through mounds of plastic storage containers and lids that never seem to match = long winter.

It was 45 by 3:30. I worked until 4 PM, gave up when my fingers felt numb. The breeze was never an issue for the three hours I did work.

Today was collect bagged leaves again day. Drive around and load up the car, drive home and unload. Go do it all over again. It was a nice enough day weatherwise.

So I managed to bring home and stack 63 bags. Now I have to haul them all upstairs to mulch those gardens back there.

Not much rain this morning but it's due to get heavier, returning tomorrow and back again. We should have sun by Thursday afternoon. It gives me a rest from cutting back Japanese irises. Now 55, going to 60.

Not a day for going outside as have having steady rain. It is good for the garden.

I knew we were going to get the rain today so I had to get the bagged leaves I needed yesterday. Wednesday morning early they come and pickup so any bagged leaves would be gone.

I am really sore today. But because of the rain no garden work so I will be fine by tomorrow.

In the low 40s here. Some rain (not measured as yet) & high winds. It won't be so difficult for the trees now that the leaves are down.
