Day 860: Two yellow tulips!





They made it!  They evaded the predatory deer!  



We're watching the weather forecasts for the upcoming week and it doesn't look good.  On Wednesday, they are predicting strong winds, thunderstorms and heavy rain.  If that forecast holds as we get closer to departure, we may have to postpone the trip for a day.  We cannot risk the safety of our young charges.  The cold front is crashing in on Wednesday, so once that is past, we can safely hike, even though the temps will be cool.  We have to wait and see, but we are making contingency plans if the conditions do not improve.  

It was the first day in the 80s since October 6!  I worked till the sweat was dripping down my face.  The east side hydrangea garden and lawn were my targets and they were full of leaves. The yard was dry enough to do a bit of mowing and hauling debris back to the compost piles.  I only got stuck in the mud once!  There's a mountain of sticks to run through the chipper once we get finished with all our trips and we need to spend a few hours pulling garlic mustard.
