Yard Work II.

11-4-11 VERMONT: Today was colder, sunny in the morning, then overcast with a north wind and even a brief snow flurry. I did the terrace and the beds at the north end of the house because they were snow free. I cut down all the dried stalks and dormant perennials, carefully avoiding baby biennials for next season. Then I rake it all out of the beds and haul it away. There were three cart loads today.

Some of the beds on the east side of the house, facing the pond, are almost snow free, and I can do those tomorrow. We’re predicted to be in the twenties tonight.
