Early Winter
Oregon has had snow at higher elevations. yesterday we had an early fall storm. High winds and lots of rain. Leaves are coming down.
I've been patching pavement and cleaning out flower beds. Trying to get ready for the leaves. We are looking at trimming bushes and trees for winter- away from buildings and to prevent gutters from getting full.
City of Portland is no longer going to do free leaf pickup. Guess that is going to mean lots of compost piles, The alternative is to bag and put leaves bagged at the curb at $2.50 per 50 pound bag. That gets expensive fast.
We are checking heaters, windows and weather stripping at the rentals.
The one good thing- a few more nights of frost and we can put away the lawn mowers until spring.
