I am declaring leaf mulching done for the year! I was really lucky that my baby brother has a huge mulching mower and he came through our yard a couple of times.
The mower was washed off and is drying overnight before Far Guy puts it away for the Winter. My red boots were washed and my lawn mowing clothing is in the washer...so I am done.
The weather was great yesterday as I made the rounds for the last time.
Not sure when this Popple will lose its leaves but they can blow away!
My other baby brother has some trees that are still losing leaves...but I got what I could.
Sounds like snow is in the forecast for next week. Far Guy moved my regular snow shovel and my electric snow shovel to the front door.
I mowed off the wild gardens West of the house, the ones East of the house are mowed in the Spring.
We still have a few things to do outside yet....but we are hopeful and will leave the patio table and chairs out for a few more days!
Minnesota Weather: High 71F or 22C Low 55F or 13C
What's Cooking: Eggs, sausages and potatoes:)

Are leaves are still green. We have a ways to go yet.
ReplyDeletesummer clothes put away but always leave out one pair of shorts...in case
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are prepared for whatever weather is heading your way. Thank goodness your brother has the big machine..I know this helps a lot. Can you believe it is already snow time in your area...I'm thinking Winter is upon us. Have a great day Connie..
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping the snow holds off until I get further south. We're getting rain today, but the northern part of the province is supposed to get up to 50cm/12 inches of snow this weekend!
ReplyDeleteFar too soon.
I have to wait a bit more for all my leaves to fall. Soon I hope
ReplyDeleteWe still have trees full of leaves. It will be a while before we are done with mulching. We also need to get the snowblower ready for the season and get out the shovels. It's that time of year!
ReplyDeleteLD...Wow, snow will shut you down. We are behind you about three weeks. I can't mulch until my wife says I can. My last surgery was five days ago. I am going to spot mow just a little tomorrow no matter what. I can't do all of it yet at the same time. Your trees are pretty. My locust has such small leaves and they keep tracking inside the house.
ReplyDeleteWe had lots of snow last night. It's going north so you should miss it.
ReplyDeleteOur lawn mower was put away for the winter but the weather has been so mild that the grass is still growing. Also many of our trees are still green. You have some beautiful fall foliage.
ReplyDeleteOur leaves are just beginning to fall. We'll be cleaning up until Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteYour weather is still warmer than ours, but frost is not in the near future. Loving the blue skies in the afternoon when the fog burns off.
All of our trees are having drought shock. I would give anything for some snow...rain, fog, dew...anything with a bit of moisture in it.
ReplyDeleteNot the 's' word already?!!!! When do you move to Jen's? How is the new house progressing? Have you started packing and downsizing? You don't have to answer all this now but can update when you want on another post when the time is right.
ReplyDeleteThe new house is coming along nicely. Not sure when we will go yet. Nope not much packing or downsizing yet!
DeleteIs a popple a poplar tree. The trees are pretty. We will not have much color. So dry the leaves fall fast.
ReplyDeleteSnow?!?! Unbelievable. You’re getting winterized.
Populus species of tree or fancy name Aspen...I call it piss popple because when you put it in a campfire liquid comes out the ends:)
DeleteYou must be relieved that mulching is done for this year. But Snow as soon as possibly next week?
ReplyDeleteMy husband has been mulching too. Our maples are just beginning to turn color, but the ash trees are nearly bare already. The guy is coming next week to blow out our sprinkler system so it will be off for the winter. The snow will probably stay north of us, but our temps should be more normal. Yesterday it got to 80 degrees here.
ReplyDeleteLovely colors! We have had snow twice now but it melts quickly... so far.
ReplyDeleteDeer season starts in a week, I fear that big buck we see has his days numbered.
Our colour is absolutely amazing right now but I'm starting to notice some very bare trees. It will all be gone soon.
