November 13, 2010

What a shocker this week, we woke up on Monday morning to the ground covered with snow.  Certainly didn't expect that the first week in November.  Especially as today we are enjoying balmy weather in the 60's.  Crazy week of weather, but it always nice when the snow melts immediately.

Pretty quiet week otherwise.  Jo was in town the entire week which is always a nice treat.  Other than that, we spent the week working and running together.  Unfortunately, our runs are now in the dark with the time change so have to get used to following your flashlight beam and catching the cracks in the sidewalks before you trip.  For the weekend, the final load of leaves was gathered and added to the garden for 2011 mulch.  This didn't take too long as most of the leaves fell during the previous two weeks.  Also finished trimming off all the dead flowers from the flower beds around the house.  Only remaining pre-winter chore is to gather all the outside furniture up for storage in the garage (such as the bird bath in the picture above).  And in the spirit of Monday's weather, I moved the snow blower to the front of the garage, pumped up the tires and got it ready to begin another season of snow blowing.  Which will probably be the focus of many blogs to come.
