Winding Down

This has been a most annoying autumn for me. I'm trying desperately to get all the outside cleanup work done before winter finally hits, and I just can't seem to catch a break on this score. Whenever I've had free time to work outside, it's been rainy/freezing/windy/all of the above. Whenever I'm tied up elsewhere, the weather is stunningly beautiful. Like today - we finally had a sunny, windless day with temps in the low 60's, and did I have time to work? Nooooo. If I could have had today, I think I could have gotten most, if not all, the remaining chores done. Now I'll probably have no choice but to freeze my hindquarters off, working outside, in a race to beat winter to the punch. Bitch, bitch, bitch.....
