First frost - LITE

Well, that wasn't much of a frost.  Most 'first frosts' are really freezes - either just skimming the birdbath with ice or freezing it solid.  Last night's frost was almost nothing.

So today everything, those that I covered up by the house and those that spent the night out in the field, are doing just fine.  *sigh*  It's almost too bad.  I mean, it's one thing to go at cleaning up the beds when plants look ratty.  But how can I yank stuff out that still looks oh so good?

I decided to rustle leaves instead.  I spent many an hour on the lawn mower, banking leaves into piles, berms, and shrub/tree surrounds.

If it doesn't rain tomorrow, I'll start dragging leaves back to the beds.    While I was wandering about snapping pics of my progress, the nabe called out that I should be taking a pic of his pile instead.  "See, mine is way bigger than yours!"  I said that he did have a nice pile.  "But, gosh.  You only have one??"  LOL

Meanwhile, I've still got trees that don't even know it's Autumn!  

Leaf season is a long one here at Melissa Majora.... *woof*
