11-26-08 SHORT HILLS: And another week slipped by. We both had nasty, gummy colds, probably from spending an hour with the kindergarten class and an hour with the second graders in San José, plus flying to California and back. We are now recovered and ready for flu season.
The yard is finished for the winter. All the leaves are down and most of them are in the street getting picked up by the town even as I blog. I had the gardeners leave some leaves in the yard and pile them on the many muddy areas in an attempt to prevent the dogs from tracking it into the house. We’ll see if that works any better than the usual feeble efforts at mud control.
I said that all the leaves were down, actually the pear trees still have about half their leaves and some of them are still green. They win for this season as the longest lived leaves.
We had some distinctly cold weather last week. There was one day when the temperature didn’t get above the freezing point. This week is warmer and rainy. A few forsythia blossoms opened.
We go to Alison’s on Long Island for Turkey Day.
