We've managed to enjoy a couple evenings outside this fall on our patio. Kansas sure can be a windy place in the fall, so finding evenings that aren't too windy and we're actually all home can be a bit tricky! But the moments we have been out there have been lovely and we look forward to having many more in the years ahead.
In other "out in the yard" news I officially wrapped up gardening when we dug up our sweet potatoes. We had some super-crazy-scary sweet potatoes this year, but a bunch that look normal, too. We're looking forward to eating them!
The zinnias were finally looking more depressing than cheerful so I decided to pull them out.
Some flowers were hanging on, but for the most part the leaves were all turning. I love those flowers so much it was kind of sad to pull them out this year.
We have a handful of small trees in our yard - a couple of them are maples and the few leaves they had turned bright red this fall. I told Ben, "In 30 years these trees will truly be amazing to watch in the fall."
We re-mulched all the plants around our house one day. It was quite the full body workout, but we agreed it needed to happen and we had a nice time working on it together.
Spreading mulch is certainly a job that doesn't sound fun, but once it's complete it's very satisfying.
