The grass is cut once more

The last section of the yard to get cut in this go-round was the south forty. It's also the smallest section so it took no time at all. The weather will now control if and when it all gets cut again before winter. The section in this photo is about half of the west forty, the largest section.

Artichoke skeletons. Tasha checks out a mole hole in the freshly cut back yard.

The weather is going downhill again. Cold, with wind and some rain through the weekend. It's normal. October can be an iffy month.

Like magic!

Yesterday I posted a photo I took in the Luxembourg Garden (Paris) and wrote that I wish I could selectively remove certain parts of the image. Lo and behold! Blogger buddy Mike in Australia knew exactly what to do and he sent me his result. Thanks Mike!

The extra and partial people are gone!

I got the mower out again yesterday and cut the north forty and the strips outside the hedges. All that's left is the small south forty. I'm hopeful that today's weather will cooperate.

Jardin de Louxembourg

Paris in the fall. Or is it winter? The Luxembourg Garden is one of the more popular of Parisian parks, at least in my opinion. I lived and went to school nearby and had occasion to walk through and/or sit and relax often. I don't know who the people are in the photo nor do I remember when I snapped it. It's likely from one of our trips back in the late 1980s.

I'd love to remove the person just over the guy's shoulder, but I don't think my software does that.

I got the mower out yesterday and cut the west forty (the largest section of our property). It feels good to have that done. Today I hope to get the north forty done. I can't cut before noon because of the heavy dew we're having. It's mostly dried up by lunch time.
