Sunday versus Tuesday

On Sunday it was 72 degrees and sunny. I took advantage of the nice day to clean up the backyard and garden.

I had intended to do a lot of weeding in the backyard, but it's getting harder to bend over now that I have this big belly, so it wasn't long before I decided that it will have to wait until the spring. At least I managed to cut the grass of the new lawn, which has filled in rather nicely!



There was little hope left for all of the tomatoes and the rest of the garden after several hard frosts, so I worked on clearing out all the raised beds.



Harriet and the other girls joined me outside for what will probably be their last day in the garden until next spring.



Every time I pulled up a plant, Harriet came running over to see what kind of bugs I uncovered!

All in all, it was a perfect day. Warm and sunny with a gentle breeze.

And today? Well, today it is 35 degrees and snowing....
