Ready for Snow.

10-27-12 VERMONT: Yesterday Judy and I both put in a full day on the flower beds, cutting down the stalks, raking up the dead leaves and hauling it all away. We did the whole front of the house, the north terrace beds and some of the beds behind the pond. We both did about six hours with the tools and dumped about eight cart and tarp loads. Today we did another hours worth to finish up for the season—let it snow.

Alison and Dan arrived yesterday. We spent the evening in Hanover with them and the girls and were back in town for the tailgate party at midday, even though the football game is at night.

Tomorrow we all head back to the NY metro area to be home before Sandy the Frankenstorm arrives.


The beds all tidied up, even Gus is impressed.

The terrace beds are ready for snow. The only times we get to see the walls are for a while in the fall before the snow and for a while in the spring before the gardens pop.
