Same. Enjoying this last blast of color before the gray sets in.
@LnzyHou
Gorgeous
@CinnamonGirlE I bought myself a shredding lawn vac, it may be the best gift I’ve ever given myself, but I’ve yet to find that out. I certainly hope that’s the case.
@MidnightRider
That will be nice. Especially if you have big trees to deal with.
@CinnamonGirlE well we shall see. I purposely bought an electric one because I have the cordage to accommodate that and it will never run out of battery. It also has metal components to shred the leaves.
@MidnightRider
Sometimes they mow mine up as well. Not nearly as many trees to deal with as I used to have. But still plenty.
@CinnamonGirlE I’m retired from raking.
@MidnightRider
Good for you! I probably am not.
@CinnamonGirlE I prefer electric sourced leaf blowers @MidnightRider
@catlynne333 @MidnightRider
I prefer my sons do it, like when they were young. But they have their own lawns and lives now, lol.
@CinnamonGirlE Yeah i use to have to blow the neighbors willow tree leaves into a pile and pick up.. I moved @MidnightRider
@catlynne333 @MidnightRider
That's the thing with leaves. They don't stay in the yards of the trees they fall from. 😂
@CinnamonGirlE Living alone plays on my mind. If this device works well? I will be out there enjoying using it. I’m turning into Mr. monk with every passing month of my life. 😎
@MidnightRider
There are a lot worse people you could turn into. IMO. I always loved Monk 😉
@CinnamonGirlE if you’re working on a vehicle monk is the guy you want to summon. With few exceptions, both in this life is usually all good or bad.
@MidnightRider
He is also the same one you want for surgery. And other meticulous things. Paying attention to details and doing things right, is never wrong.
@CinnamonGirlE I agree with all of that. Sometimes it feels like our generation was raised with that paradigm, whereas others behind us do not follow that principle.
@MidnightRider
I don't necessarily think that's 100%; but I do believe it's way up there.
@CinnamonGirlE of course it’s not anywhere near that percentage. No sweeping generalizations ever are. Some of it is age related as well. Yet, like you, I took my job in the hospital dead serious. We had to otherwise they would fire both of our asses.
@MidnightRider
No doubt of that! 💯%
@catlynne333 Ha ha just because of the leaves? I live in an HOA now, my next-door neighbor has a dead car in the driveway going on 16 years. My entire life even from a child up has included living next-door to a dead car in the driveway. I have now just resigned myself to that being fate.
@catlynne333 @CinnamonGirlE @MidnightRider I read the first ten words and grew alarmed.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @catlynne333 @MidnightRider
😂🤣
That would not be good!
@CinnamonGirlE it is if you like a clean house
@MidnightRider
I definitely do!
@CinnamonGirlE Yeah well nana still holds a royal flush, even if she does use good temperament in showing her hand; babysitting is mad expensive now.
@MidnightRider
You aren't wrong there. They owe me for a lifetime of that, if nothing else.
I'm curious how it works out. I live at the end of a 2 block street, and these will be coming for Thanksgiving.😄
@slapout With a mountain like that I’d use the optional kit to fit a trash can in lieu of the shoulder bag. I plan on using it to mulch the border to the woods which is perfect.
@slapout @MidnightRider
Maybe Midnight Rider can come and help you with his leaf eating machine? 😉😂
@CinnamonGirlE I already have multiple properties to ride reign on, but thanks for the offer to extend my work to someone else without asking me. 😂😂
I make a mean turkey dinner.🦃
@slapout That’s an attractive offer. I will be in upstate New York again this summer that’s for sure. If you buy a WORX they aren’t too expensive.
@MidnightRider Well, in the summer, we only eat wings around here. 😉 🤣
@slapout @MidnightRider
Yummy! Sounds like a good offer 🍗
Don't tell anyone, but my secret stuffing ingredient is 😂 :
@slapout @CinnamonGirlE @MidnightRider
Amazon carries it. Pricy.
@LnzyHou @CinnamonGirlE @MidnightRider
It's been a staple around here all my life, so it isn't any worse than regular poultry seasoning at our local stores.
@slapout @CinnamonGirlE @MidnightRider
How does it differ from regular poultry seasoning?
@LnzyHou @CinnamonGirlE @MidnightRider
Can't say, as I've never tried anything else, although; it hits a lot of the marks.
"What is in Bell's Seasoning? Bell's Seasoning has just seven ingredients: rosemary, oregano, sage, ginger, marjoram, thyme, and pepper. It's gluten-free, salt-free, vegan, and has no additives or preservatives."
@slapout @MidnightRider
Never heard of this.
@MidnightRider @CinnamonGirlE Kinda wish I had one of those. Then I could shred leaves and dump them in the flower beds. Or make new beds!
@GeezerWench forest border edge is the plan.
@CinnamonGirlE I'm lucky to live where we don't have to rake. And we have many fireflies; spotted this article. https://blog.nwf.org/2024/09/leave-the-leaves-to-save-fireflies/
@TheresaVermont love this!
@TheresaVermont @CinnamonGirlE
Oh, I just love fireflies! 😍
@TheresaVermont Always. And I do have fireflies ✨ @CinnamonGirlE
@CinnamonGirlE And raking, and raking 😁
@gemswinc
Lots of it, when it's pretty like today, it's not so bad. That and the fact I cut down most of my mature trees. 😉
@CinnamonGirlE
Pretty, I like the variegated colors on the tree. Ours are falling rapidly now, time to mulch them up with the lawn tractor. Soon barren trees.
