That was fun

I went out and swept/raked up the leaves littering my patios. I swept them onto the back yard, and then stomped them to smithereens! (They were that dry.) And now that a goodly portion of leaves are off the big tree, more sun is managing to get into my back yard. But it doesn't stay as long as it used to, now that the day is shorter.

Oh, my! I think my reading on myLot today is about ended. You wouldn't believe what I thought I read in your first sentence. (My eyes are swelling shut again...) It is 26;6 C here and we just turned on the A/C. Our house reached 25 C when Pretty went through and asked if I was getting too warm...

It rained yesterday, the fallen leaves are wet, I am going to wait that they dry before sweeping.

It's supposed to rain here for the next few days (maybe even snow on Sunday) so I'll go out and clear up some more if it doesn't start to rain after I'm done here.

Those leaves will help your grass this winter.

I think more sunshine is better than cold

Definitely, especially when you're solar-powered as am I...

Raking up leaves must seem like it goes on a long time.

When they come down a bit at a time, yes. About half the tree to go yet, and it's a big tree.
