The Backyard On Halloween 2025

 Friday, October 31, 2025

This mum I planted a couple years ago is finally showing some flowers. Pretty late in the season but better late than never. Hoping to get the potted mums in the ground soon to try and get another season out of them. 

Glad I worked on uncovering these garden stones this year. They look great. 

Will be cutting the hostas back soon. 

Norway pine. 

Should probably bring the red chairs in soon and then get in the habit of bringing them out only when needed so they don't get left out all winter. 

And, should probably cut this back a bit more so that it's not such an unmanageable job in the spring.

Leaves Are Changing but the Trees Aren't Too Willing to Give Them Up Yet

 Friday, October 31, 2025

Walked up to Walgreen's today to pick up Halloween candy. 

Dale and I are both amazed how many trees haven't lost their leaves yet. 

Anyway, the colors are pretty to look at. I just hope they're down before they start doing street sweeping and stop doing yard waste pickups. 

I got lots of pictures of what I'm seeing around the neighborhood.
