I am looking out the window at a beautiful sunny day. Usually I can't see out that window because there are hazelnut bushes right outside but those leaves have fallen. It seemed like a good idea to plant the hazelnuts. I like hazelnuts (filberts); unfortunately,so do the squirrels. I find the hulls all over the yard. I have yet to get any to eat. The bushes are taller than the windows (12 feet), so they make a nice screen and help keep the side of the house cool in the summer. It just seems odd when the leaves fall and I see that there is a house right next door. It has only been there for 40 years, but out of sight, out of mind, right?
The snow is skipping over us and heading to the east coast. I am fine with that. We still have leaves that haven't fallen and I have to mow one more time and clean up the garden. So much to do; so little time. I need to to quit living in front of the computer. How did I have more time when I worked?
