October 7

Well, I did get the weeds cut yesterday but only on the south lawn as the other two didn't look to need it yet. Took extra care to chop up all the fallen leaves too.

Afterwards I came in for a grilled cheese and a cup of tomato soup then went back out to rake the hay. Just that quick, the green cut hay was already covered with a nasty looking brown covering of newly fallen leaves.

It was pretty windy but still makes me think it might be too expensive to move all the leaves out this fall. Heck, we might just leave them where they fall for now Because of the way things are going and with the increasing cost of energy, including electricity we may need to bundle them to use in the fireplace for heating and cooking.

I've already stashed a cache of jalapeƱos to use in helping keep my hands and feet warm as I dig through the snow for the leaves. Just rub my hands and feet good with one before I put my gloves, shoes and socks on. Whee, warm it is. I used to use a lot of them back when I deer hunted. If you get a bit chilly inside, since it was used on your feet, just hold your nose and eat the remnant's, works very good to warm you. If you're a little sleepy, not holding your nose tends to perk you up too.

Nope, nothing comes to mind again this morning. That should probably say nothing comes from the mind not to it. I still have a memory but my steel trap mind doesn't turn any loose very often.

And in case you've never taken the time to think about it, unless you happen to observe the splattering plop it's might nigh impossible to tell bullshit from cow shit.
