Pulling plants. Emptying window boxes and other players.
Picking up the myriad pots, baskets and other containers the Mrs put flowers and such in. Store what's good and trash the rest.
It's a process andI don't want to be doing come November.

In a couple of weeks, we're getting an outdoor lift installed through the deck. It'll be handy for getting groceries & firewood, up & down when taking the stairs is too much of a chore. We have LOTS of stairs. The ones from the ground floor up to our main living space are kinda narrow and the dimensions of the steps are - awkward. Getting rid of the carpet will help.

So I'm still planting around that corner and have a monster rhododendren to prune. Cleaning up the herb beds and around the fire pit. Which needs to be cleaned out from all the ash too. But what I did yesterday (not that much) feels today like I was run over by a mammoth and I'm also sneezy/snotty. So it's tv & YT binge day. Gobs is starting tree work; we have a few dead ones and we're removing as many pines as we can. Those are bonfire fuel.

Funny you say that. I was all stuffy last night and it cleared out today.
Cough, sneeze, gag, spit.

Add the mower deck to the list of WTF else can break around here.
Port side spindle is shot.
Can I still be a prepper if I move to a condo?
