Hey Punkin, guess what? I raked and burned too. My neighbors were complaining about a very large pine tree that overhung their side a bit, worried that it might fall on their house in a storm, so my brother came and climbed up and took a good bit of it down to lessen the weight. That tree was SO large that we burned the equivalent of about a 20 foot tree in its entirety in what he took down. I also put up fall decorations, and I had to put the heat on today!
It was funny, I took a nap midday because I was so tired out, woke up, heard the heat come on, looked outside at the chilly weather and felt like I went from one season to another in a few hours, and I have to say that THIS fall feels a whole lot different from LAST fall!!
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying your new house and I bet you are also feeling that the new season is different and a lot more promising than last fall!
