It seems there is always something that needs to get done outside this time of year.

Leaves are done. I have been pondering cleaning out beneath the lilacs. I have done so since I moved here. After working my way between the4 lilacs and the fence I found various odd items including what looks like a pan and one looks like some sort of tent.

Not the can of worms I wanted to open. The stray plastic bag or paper is one thing. Who dumps stuff like that.

So I figured I should check my backups. Of course I am behind.

Backup the backup

I started burning DVDs of the pictures, videos, etc. I have several months to do. Argh, bad Derek.

Christina and her pumpkin.

And one with the pumpkin lit up.

Halloween Time

We carved the pumpkin Christina picked out. Christina chose the style of eyes, nose, mouth, and teeth. She also was a big help.

I would say she is pleased with our work.

The leaves have been raked. Then played in. And followed by mulching. Then mowing. And finally discarded.

OK, ready for the next project.
