The weather the past few weeks has been perfect for taking care of fall clean-up projects so have not been watching much TV news.
Actually, for the most part, I stopped watching before the American election. It all just got way too crazy, even for me. I didn’t watch at all the day of, or the day after, the election but did check in later to see who won. It took a week or so to finally get an answer. Although it is still being contested I think everyone knew early on who will be the next POTUS, even if some are not yet ready to make the mental adjustment. In the words of that famous, self-proclaimed saviour of the nation, “It is what it is!” even if he won’t acknowledge it.
So, I have busied myself cleaning up the yard. Larry put leaf thingys in my eaves troughs so I don’t have to crawl around on the roof digging the muck out by hand. It’s just a quick swipe occasionally to keep a few stragglers moving. Have all the perennials cut down that do not have an abundance of seeds. I like to leave those for the birds, come the snow. I had five scrub or dying trees cut down in the back yard so there are only a few scattered leaves out there but the front yard is another story.
