Cleaning up After the Rain

Pumping the Additional Rainwater Out
December 21, 2018

The record setting rains have created a big problem for the area and I am not exempt. 

Grasses Ready for Trimming
December 21, 2018

The pool has received so much rain that I had to set-up the auxiliary pump and remove seven inches of water from the pool to get the level back into the area I like to keep it to prevent ice damage during the cold days ahead.

And then there are the grasses around the pool. The ornamental grasses are usually trimmed on Columbus Day, or failing thwart Veterans Day--but both were washouts this year. Hopefully, the lawn will dry enough this week to allow for the use of the truck to collect the grasses and remove them to the mulching center.

Always something to do. 

Even during the Christmas season while shopping for gifts.

I did, however, complete my shopping yesterday accompanied by hundreds of my new friends.
