What a day – I am exhausted …!
Spent most of the day raking the leaves that fell since we last raked in the fall …

that the fun of living in the forests of Fairfax – cool and shady in the summer – but payback time comes often! So I raked into pileds, ground it up with the lawn mower, then used the wheelbarrow to haul it to the compost pile. I even cleaned around the pond some, tho I want to raise the surrounding ground to the level of the pond’s edge. Once thats done, I can border the pond with slate
and give it a really cute look. Anyway – contrast this with the shot below from Feb!
Here’s a picture from 5pm – just after I fed the fish!
