'Afternoon All: Guess it HAS been a long time since many of us posted here. Been trying to balance my time between enjoying retirement & keeping busy. The two often do not go hand in hand. We've been doing some work around the property. Repainted the exterior of the addition on the house & some of the other trim work. Re-caulked the bay window. Removed all the planking from the back deck & it's going to get replaced. And, after nearly 25 years of Blueberries, we removed our remaining bushes. The yields have been steadily dropping (only got two quarts off of 6 bushes the last couple years) and the berries were getting bitter. The bushes were old & had reached the end of their time. We're not planting any more new ones at this stage. I think in the spring we'll plant some vegetables where they were. Going to give the yard a final mowing of the season this weekend & then get the lawn tractor prepared for winter & put away.

We have had the mildest fall ever this year! Temps in the 60's & 70's. We're into October and have still not had a frost yet! That's unbelievable. Many flowers still blossomed. The fall foliage here is not even at 50% yet! Way behind schedule. We usually peak between the 6th & 10th of October, but we won't this year.
