I cleaned out the leaves from the eaves on the shed! It's a fun chore. Satisfying, I guess. I had to wait until the last maple shed its leaves. Last week daytime temperatures went up to 24 ℃ several days in a row. Saturday morning it was 1 deg., with a high of 7 ℃! I am SO GLAD got this done in the warmth. This morning it is -6 ℃!
Still waiting for that maple to drop its leaves:

May, 2023 We had trees down from a storm, and deer visiting. |
Dec. 2012 Kitten Daisy and Buster were playing. |
There is an ivy growing around the shed. I thought I'd looked it up before, but... I forget.
I called Joe to bring supplies. Next year, I have to remember gloves, as well as the broom, a long-handled something to dig leaves out. I forgot my gloves. It took several tries, which is why we are laughing over it all.
This is the ivy growing rampant climbing the dead sumac and nearby trees. I still cannot figure out what it is. I am loathe to cut it all down.

I like your back 40! Gloves are necessary, I have blisters from not using gloves. Take care, have a great day and a happy new week!
So glad to know you are a distributor of goodies to the owl...or perhaps rescuer for froggies to survive another winter. Guess Ms. Owl helps keep the population under control. That shed looks quite tall from up there. Strange vine that can't be named!
Sunny but cool here today.
Big frost last night, and I'm glad you don't run an extension cord to a shed.
...I was on the leaf patrol yesterday. White pine needles are a pain to get off of shingle roofs!
Well done. That is not a job I could do - my balance is suspect even on the ground.
Your temperatures change dramatically. We are heading for a top of 30C today (and I prefer your temperatures).
You are so courageous to be up on that roof. But another good job all done. Cold mornings, surprise down here, this morning, a frost on the roofs near us!!!...1C on the veranda, not quite time to store away the rest of the firewood. we had a fire lit the last few nights.
Well done, Jenn! You are intrepid and it looks terrific. Ilove hearing about your critters. Hope most of the frogs will survive.
I just love the ongoing narrative of your crumbly acres! And of course our hearts are lifted by kittens. Thank you my friend. Stay safe and keep taking care of nature. Aloha!
Those are some cool temperatures. It's getting cooler here finally.
I wish I could get to my eave troughs. I've been banned from ladders?
