this is my gym today

The neighborhood has become a kaleidoscope of color. All the leaves from the trees are falling. Mine are boring yellow. I'm surrounded by red. 

I thought that it might be soon time for the city to collect them, November has begun. It is supposed to be nice this week so I thought why not. Let's get a jump start. There's still a half of tree to fall. I gathered them into a rough pile and decided to see when collection was. I nearly fell over!

 

DECEMBER 14-16! By that time they will have snow on them and they will stop collecting. The entire south side is that day including the university.  I am so tired of our neighborhoods getting the short end of the stick.  I guess I'll be brown bagging them and taking them to the compost center before my last balance class.

Earlier today I walked in the neighborhood. Since April every street has been ripped up. It's a mess trying to drive here. I guess having shiny new gas pipes will be worth the mega inconveniences.

Pat and I did Milly on Monday and went to the Sr. Center class at one. Our last Balance class is Friday.


Yesterday I picked up this exercise machine from Dave's house for a friend. It's still in my car. I'll need to get it out before I take the twins for drive-by flu shots Sunday.


UPDATE 12/17:

The leaves were not collected. We had a wintery mix scheduled for the 15th,. On the 14th road crews were brining the roads. The 15th they were salting and plowing. My pile of leaves is a soggy, crumbled mess. If I were not so lazy, I'd stick them in my compost bin. They are about 50% broken down.
