Anthony! Leaves! Yard Work! 12.13.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:53 pm  

I have hundreds of videos of the teams coming to work with me.

I like this. I think he’s right.

Perfect weather for yard work. Cool and dry.

I set up bird feeders near where I sit and study Spanish in the mornings. I was impressed by the quality of the image from my iPhone 16 Pro Max. The Eastern Bluebird is one of my favorites. I love the way they fly. They snatch insects out of the air. He’s eating suet that’s fallen onto the ground.

I have fun when I talk to Anthony. He’s hilarious.

Listened to Don Cheto. I was hearing almost all the words. If you know all the words they’re saying, that’s 95% of comprehension. Most of the time is was just a blur of meaningless sounds. Now, it’s like, “Oh, that’s what they’re saying.”

I hauled over thirty large tarp loads of leaves. They were dry which makes the job easier.

It’s a huge amount of leaves.

My tarp carries lots of leaves.

I picked up lots of sticks.

Blowing is part of the cleaning process. I rake all the heavy stuff. Then do the fine clean up with the blower.

Crazy how azaleas bloom in winter. Not a lot of flowers, but some.

Reset the timer for the lights. I needed the extension cord it was plugged into for the blower.

There are hardly any leaves left on the trees, so it should stay nice.

Cleaning the driveway and street in front of my house is a big part of the job.

I put the leaves in a row near the bottom of my property.

Cleaned and refilled my four bird-baths.

I put on the faucet protectors. We are expecting a hard freeze in a few days.

Part of the job is storing all my tools properly. Cords wound up and stashed. Wheel barrow and tarp put under shelter. My grandfather used to say, “With careful use you get long use.” It’s true.

Nana heard from her friend.

Won’t stop.
