Red leaves

Into October. The stores have their costumes and multi/mini choc bar boxes for Halloween. The houses will soon have their decorations outside...skulls, gravestones, pumpkins.

The leaves on the trees are turning nice shades of red and yellow. I love the reds.

The snow shovels are still inside the front door. I hadn't put them away from winter. I shall need them soon. Been thinking about geting a contractor for snow clearance as, until now, there was never any urgency to clear the stuff.

Nobody needed to get out to work. If the schools were closed I could stay in bed without geting the kids up and then we could clear the snow at our leisure during the day. But now that my SD is working, she'll have to get to work on days when the schools are closed.

On the other hand, her work pattern is such that she doesn't have to leave until 10.00 am and then only a couple of times a week. Now that I think about it that's not going to mean early snow clearing after all. At least hardly more than before, if at all.

Might just see how it goes.
