We have had some cold snaps in the 20s. Then we were up to 80. After a ton of rain, we went up to 62 today. More big rain coming and cold, cold, cold. Today I decided I'd better take advantage of the warmth and hand-grab some leaves from around the pond margins and bog. I had a whole big, black garbage bag full! There is more to do, but I'm glad I got done what I did. I guess some critters will appreciate the sunken leaves over the winter. I can finish cleaning up in the spring.
