Just Being A Homebody

This should surprise no one but I spent this past weekend at home and in the yard, taking care of this, that and the other things.

Saturday, I lowered the deck on my ride mower for the final cutting of the season.  I like to cut it short for the winter, plus being short the leaves don't get snagged in it as much and blow on by.  I did a first coat of painting on a new inside project I started, to be revealed here later.  Ended the day with a relaxing soak in the hot tub!

Sunday, I changed my flags, from Halloween to Thanksgiving -


Moving the clocks back an hour had me up at my regular time even though the clock displayed 4AM.  Once daylight arrived, and even though a brisk 38ish degrees, I made my way outside to do some more raking!

Replenished with a plethora of leaf bags I tackled the sidewalk side of things and filled up (10) more bags and rest assured that they're FULL!

My new full leaf bag total stands at a whopping (41)!


Okay, so before heading out to rake on Sunday morning, I spent about an hour readying my crockpot with the fix'ns for beef stew.  Loaded with tender beef, garlic, onions, mushrooms, carrots, green beans, peas and potatoes.  I'm not a braggard but I gotta say, I nailed it! Nice and thick, as it should be, and super tasty!  It was ready by half time of the Patriots games and went well with a glass or two, okay half a bottle of Merlot, with plenty of left overs for a couple days AND I froze some for a later time.
