Now I Know Winter is Coming

First good sized red bellied woodpecker showed up today on the tree after I finally went indoors. Raked up 14 bags of leaves and ran the mower over back and front yards. Let the leaves get too high before mulching so had a lot of raking to get it down. I'm pooped! But beat the forecasted rain.

Great close up! My husband has hauled more than 20 tarps of leaves to our woods. A few to go. I usually help but I haven't this year.

That's a lot of work! Glad you were able to mulch some of the leaves. I am surprised at how few people do it.
