We have been busy raking leaves, putting down compost and manure, pruning, planting shrubs and trees, repairing a window and porch corner, putting up Christmas lights and decorations, cleaning, wrapping Christmas presents, sending out Christmas cards, starting new gardens, and, of course, each of us working at jobs. We are both very pleased to be in relatively good health and able to be very busy.
Here are some photos of our yard in early December 2009. This year, all the leaves had fallen by the end of November. It has been much colder in the past month, with numerous rainstorms and high winds.
Looking towards the east. The Raywood ash trees have more reddish and orange leaves.
Looking towards the southeast. The taller pecan trees have yellow leaves.
Looking towards the south. The mulberry trees still have many green leaves.
Looking towards the south. We use all the fallen leaves as mulch.
