Almost every year, I get our trees thinned (more sunlight - better for garden) and we seem to have EVEN MORE leaves - figure that one out! Just look at those bags of leaves, and they are big bags, too, especially the black ones. And this doesn't even show the numerous garbage cans I've already sent to the dump (And yes, D and B, we have yard waste recycling and I use that). I ask, where were you kids when I needed you???
There, it's done! Perennials cut back, leaves raked, roses trimmed, etc. I'm ready for snow now -- bring it on.
Melissa's blog had had several entries of her favorite squirrel and the hard work as he/she got ready for winter. Just look at this feeder. Almost all the corn was brought from the ground up into the feeder by the squirrel., one kernel at a time -- thousands of trips up and down the tree. Hmmmm, I just wonder if the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics would justify this effort. Logan, with all your physics awards, will you run the calculations for those of us not equally gifted?
Ah, my pool game! I played in the Utah Open last weekend and did not distinguish myself. Lost to an inferior player in 9 Ball, beat an equal (handicapped by playing level) player in 8 ball, then absolutely got dusted by a much better player from Idaho. I was not satisfied with my play, so back to the drawing board - in this case, Melissa's little flip camera, as seen in the background. The camera showed me that I have a liittle "twitch" in my follow thru which, I believe, effects the shot. Chances are the twitch gets worse under pressure ( kinda' like the yips in putting). Oh,well, gonna' continue to work on my game and compete. Keeps me young enough to rake all those leaves! Now, when Lindy and Chris get out here, I'll have some help next fall. YES!!
