The fact that I am still doing fall yard work at this time of year is testament to just how busy fall 2022 was for me. But thankfully, the weather cooperated a with a sunny, 50 degree day, and I think I mostly have everything done just in time for the new year. I still need to cover the kayaks under Shirley’s deck with a tarp, but other than that, the inflatable kayak is covered, the glass topped outside table is covered, all of the outside chairs are finally in the basement for the winter, the fallen leaves have all been moved from my yard and Shirley’s yard to my little landfill site in my side yard, and I got the eel grass mess cleaned up that accumulated in Shirley’s yard after the high tide flood had last Friday. The wind blew the water and all of the sediment it carried into Shirley’s yard. It formed a high tide line and the mix of chopped-up eel grass, sticks, and leaves was deep enough that it needed to be removed or it was going to kill the grass. Now that is done, and I am ready for the new year. Doing the yard clean up, going to Heather and Jed’s to feed the cats, and walking and playing with Shadow filled my day. Tomorrow, I have a holiday luncheon with my good friends in my Dining-in group. We were supposed to meet last week, but due to illness (Terry) and exposure to sick grandkids (me), we rescheduled. It will be great to see everyone and wish them a Happy New Year in person.
