I don&#8217;t begrudge them. Their persistence and flexibility are  so entertaining. At one point, this one was hanging upside down from its feet.

Raking and sweeping and bagging.
There was a bit of frost on the hill this morning. It&#8217;s a warning. Time is running out to get the fall cleanup done.  And it&#8217;s a warning to turn off the outside tap and open the hose. But it&#8217;s an opportunity, also, to sink into the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=writingeveryday.wordpress.com&blog=2980432&post=5461&subd=writingeveryday&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
