Fall Chores

Fall is here. The weather is great. The time to catch up on things that there was no time for and maybe no desire for in the summer is here. Pull up everything dead in the garden and put it in the trash can (not the compost). Clean up the green house and get it ready to use for the winter. Plant some fall flowers. Plant the fall garden. Take some cuttings from trees and vines before they go dormant. Over-seed the lawn Wow. I’m getting tired writing about it.

In our home there are a few extras. The compost system is getting raggedy and it is ugly and in the wrong place. A new one needs building. There were lots of junky trees in the back yard. They needed to come down. That means there is a lot of firewood to split. My wife wants a new front porch. She also wants a patio, where I wanted to put a garden. Her projects need to come before mine if I want to enjoy domestic tranquility.

Most of the first paragraph is finished. Some of the second paragraph is started. Prioritizing the tasks is almost impossible. They all need to be done before the weather gets cold. It is best to just do the hardest one first.
