My daughter Rebecca visited today and took the blower to the porch gutters.
This very short video shows her at work.
Rebecca had to crawl through a window to get to this location. A tough job but better than using a ladder.
Thank you so much for your help, Rebecca. Too bad there are still more leaves on the maple tree.
Until next time, that’s it from Sunnybook Farm.

The tubers can be left in the ground until it is freezing, but why wait? Better to work in nice weather.
Bob and I were often out in the cold digging up the flower bed. Our hands froze. Our noses ran. I hated those tubers because of the winter-like weather.
Not this year. I chose the last nice day to do this chore.
It’s no good to wait until the last minute.
I enjoyed my time with my flowers this fall because I wasn’t freezing.
Now I’m looking at a small package of tulip bulbs. Should I plant them? Or should I save them to force the bulbs to bloom mid-winter?
I planted a couple of fall bulbs, but when the snow flies I like to see growing plants. The rest will give me comfort in January.
Until next time, that’s it from Sunnybook Farm.

My friend Bridget asked if I wanted a fern. Today she dug it from her garden.
And gave it to me.
I think it grew as it came out of the soil.
Now I will go and repot it so it can survive the winter in my upstairs bathroom.
Hopefully it will be alive to go outside into my garden next summer.
Thank you Bridget.
Until next time, that’s it from Sunnybook Farm.

If you listen to this video you’ll soon find out what I bought for myself.
It only cost $7 so don’t think diamonds, for that matter, don’t ever think diamonds when it comes to me.
So now you know how I’ll spend part of my summer.
I expect to have fun with grandchildren. It’s about time we all get together again.
Wishing you a fishy gift, too.

Rebecca, Sunny dog, and I went for a walk down the farm lane yesterday. We didn’t plan for mud. We should have.
It was a great day to be outside.
I debated about posting this video of me limping. It’s not the best look. My excuse is that I was getting tired and my shoes had a heavy layer of mud attached.
Next time we’ll bring the cart out and hope not to get stuck in the mud.
