Fall weather here for good?

Sept 16, 2012
This morning and yesterday give me hope that cooler weather is finally here.  It is 64 degrees and raining a nice straight down rain. Has been for several hours.
I am glad to have a reason to stay inside.  The house work has not been attended to in a couple of months.  My 45 year old vacuum cleaner (Hoover) is finally repaired. It needed a new switch. 15 dollars and good to go.

Yesterday, I trimmed back tree branches that keep on trying to cover the house and the street.  Never, Never, NEVER!! plant live oaks in the front yard.  They are 30 feet away from the house and not nearly far enough!!! Talk about live and learn.  They are about 15 to 20 years old now and just getting started.

With the hot, hot weather, the trimming had to wait.  Now, there are wet piles of branches here and there that will have to be moved.  My lovely green garden cart is standing out there in the rain and I am not fretting that the bottom will get soggy and rot the way the wooden carts did (do).  The cart/wagon has a mesh type bottom with openings about 2 inches.  The nice surprise? The wheels (just like wheels on little kids wagons have) are narrow enough to pull through my gravel pathways. This is the last gasp for the wooden one as it is falling apart.  I will use it to haul branches to the burn pile and might pull the tires off and add it to the pile.

I failed to mention before that this is from TSC Farm Store; the brand is Ground Work utility cart.
