Bringing in the Sheaves

Beautiful Fall morning, did the first round of leave raking. Back, front and side; expect more leaves to fall so didn't do an exemplary job.

 Used my Worx vac/shredder to perform some magic. The leaf pile was condensed and filled the vacuum bag 6 times, one bag I put into the yard compost pile the other five are in the brown leaf bag.
Also raked on the other side of my garage which is our property for just about 2 feet.

Current Blooms:
 Pinched off the faded blooms from the potted mums we bought, we may get another round of blooms if we don't get a hard frost.
 Heaths and Heather




 A rogue Coral Bell
The garlic has sprouted, the chard leaves are at 4 - 6 inches, I'll wait some more to pick them and the latest spinach crop is just sprouting too.

Beers in the Fridge:
 Continuing with the Stouts. The Anchor Brewing Flying Cloud stout was very complex and had 3 distinct tastes at the first, the middle and the finish. Chocolate, coffee, molasses, 7.4 % ABV. The Double Chocolate Stout is reminiscence of Guinness in cans but with chocolate nose and flavors, not too sweet and at 5.2 % ABV is easy to drink. The can has the widget inside so you get an entertaining pour and a creamy head.
