Over the past week I've been working a bit more than usual in the yard. October has brought cooler but still very pleasant weather as compared to the heat we experienced in July - September. My recent yardwork has been halting the creep of ferns out into the yard. I've been digging up some of the bulbs and moving them back closer to the retaining wall which is where they're supposed to be. I've also been resetting the paving and garden stones that border the fern garden as they've really settled into the ground in recent years (see previous post). Today I weeded the narrow strip of ground between our's and Josh and Breanna's garage. I also removed a small tree from there that came up to my chest.
Today was a day to just sit back with a cigar and enjoy the space.
Found a Halloween playlist on Apple Music, which turned out to be quite fun, and then just relaxed and took in everything around me.
I'm sure I've mentioned this already but I really have loved NOT working this fall.
