Chelle, I can't believe you're still doing yard work in your zone. It's too cold for me! I really try to get my yard ready for winter early because I so hate the cold weather. It really has been a warm fall here, but I woke up to 25° today. And it has been so wet- seems it's always raining. This has been our wettest year ever- 69.9" so far. Normal year-to-date is 39.9".
