Good morning!!!!

home sweet home
thought I was going to battle high winds but the storm was further out to sea apparently, though the six foot waves on the Chesapeake
were pretty amazing to see.
Was doing great until coming up the Blue Route near Philadelphia, and instead of continuing on to turnpike, got confused by all the 76 numbers in local roads
and wound up heading South on Schulkill Expressway aka Surekill Expressway going the wrong way. And no exit for six miles in bumper to bumper traffic.
And....I needed a bathroom badly. So that added an extra half hour on to the trip I didn't need but alls well that ends well.
55 and sunny here, time for a nap.

garden is wrecked from the frost, need to go hack down the tomato and pepper plants tomorrow.
But I bet I'll find some more radishes out there.

Wngsprd, looks like a great hike!
Almost 10 miles according to AllTrails unless I got the wrong one.

Got antifreeze in camper traps, set matt in sun to dry.
Got garden fence down, tomato cages out. Trash out for tomorrow pickup.
Still can’t find 2nd set of camper keys. Thought I hung them up after we got back, but wife said she never saw them when she had to go into camper, so she used my set.

Gotta leave early for church meeting tonight.

51F and clear @ 17:30, headed down to an overnight low of 36F.

Got the last two day lilies planted. Tomorrow will probably dig up the day lilies that I got from Menards awhile back - the ones that I temporarily stuck in the ground in the planting bed at the southeast corner of the house - and divide them and then stick them with the ones I just planted today, to fill out that bed. Dug the holes for those before I finished this evening.

Also planted two Alchemilla mollis (Lady's Mantle), two Artemisia schmidtiana "Nana" (Silvermound), and two Delosperma "Fire Spinner".

Still have to divide the Black-eyed Susan and plant those divisions, along with the three hemlock plants.

Frank got dropped off at the pet store to the lady that does the rescues.

Finished up the day by blowing more leaves over on the west side.

Now time to close up the garage and see what I can rustle up for grub ...

Hope everyone had a great day ...

Got most the chores done...need more fuel before wintering the ZTR...that'll be this week sometime.
Leaves are mulched, so that's done. Tractor is prepped for winter. All I need to do now is move the Gator
