Final Yard Work of 2009?

November 1st and November 25th - the 20th and 21st lawn mowings of the year. Most of the leaves are down, and I don' think the grass has much growing left to do. The last grass cutting was more of an easy means of leaf gathering. The spots in the yard that died off during the summer are all green again - and I probably should have spread out some seed in the more bare spots earlier. December is too late for for sprouting seed in Oregon.

I managed to fill the yard debris barrel for the last four or five weeks. It gets quite heavy with wet leaves and grass, rotten pears, and all the branches that have blown down in the recent windstorms. Now - we've got a forecast for cold coming up at the tail end of next weekend. Might be cold enough for snow - but not sure yet if the moisture will arrive at the same time as the sub-32 degrees.

So - I just barely made this post during December. I've got quite a few running around in my head - and lots of photos to post. Life is just to busy I guess. Keep watching this spot for a few soccer action shots, random fun adventures, and of course - Mt. Hood as seen from Lolo Pass Road. We just had our Annual Christmas Tree hunt up on Mt. Hood - and rain, snow, and sun were all part of the day.

Stay tuned. I hope to get some photos organized soon.
