FINE FALL WEATHER

      Today was one of those fine fall days that makes fall so pleasant. 

      My job today was to dig my garden. Yes, I grow a vegetable garden and yes , I dig every bit of it by hand! Now my garden plot isn't very large ... maybe 20 x 30 feet. But for an elderly person , it's a lot of digging. 

      The temperature was about 20 C . The sun was bright. Not a cloud in the sky. No wind. It was dry. It was a beautiful day to be outside. 

     We have had very little precipitation since the end of June. Everything is dry. However, it seems like a good fall day has to be dry. Farmers want dry weather to harvest their crops. 

    This would have been a great day to just sit on your deck or patio. 

    Here's one of those pleasant fall days when we were out birding.

  1. It won't be long before I turn my garden but I won't be doing it by shovel. I will gladly due it with a tiller.

    1. You could drop by here with the tiller. It would only take a few minutes and a few days to get here!!!

  9. Tom digs his garden boxes by shovel. He digs in plant material from the garden and compost from his bins. Then in the spring he just rakes out the surface. 30/68 and sunny sounds perfect.

  12. My neighbor is tilling his two garden plots. I still have things rowing in mine so I don't want to close it down yet. Digging is a lot of work. I have to take breaks anymore in the middle of jobs.

  13. That is hard work for an older guy! Hire some strong teenager and watch him...just as fun!

  15. I hope you got to see a lot of birds that day, just so long as it wasn't pigeons.
    Good for you with the gardening. I've heard that is very healthy for those of us who are seniors. My mom does it and she's doing great.
