Leaves were everywhere, so he strapped on the backpack leaf blower and got to work on Saturday. After 4 hours or so, the yard was in pretty good shape!
Ross did the final leaf clean-up on Sunday morning and then mowed the lawn. He hauled out our smaller extension ladder and trimmed some of the broken lower branches on one of the maples, and then he removed the large beech branch that had broken and then gotten stuck in the top of the hornbeam triplet.
I spent both days getting the perennial beds that surround the house ready for winter: raking, gathering up the dead hosta leaves, cutting back foliage, etc. It feels wonderful to have everything done--the snow can fly and we won't care!
Ross's third grade teacher now lives on our street and came for a quick visit today. The weekend flew by but we sure accomplished a lot!
