Yard Work V.

11-7-11 VERMONT: Today started like the last two days, sunny and cold, but warmed up a lot and became partly cloudy. I was working without a jacket and only light gloves in the afternoon. The pond was completely frozen this morning, but is now completely ice free and it’s still in the upper forties.

I finished the beds, they’re all clean and put to bed, so to speak, and waiting for that snowy blanket to come, but not tomorrow when it might get to the sixties. I put the reflectors up around the driveway to guide the plowers when that snowy blanket arrives. After that I went about halfway around the property line refreshing, restapling and replacing the ‘POSTED’ signs. This is Vermont, and it is November, and every day the hills are alive with the sound of gunfire.


The road, the tree line, and the fence line. The wall, under renovation, is between the trees and the fence, but doesn't show well.
