Tore Up My Spine Bigtime!

It is beautiful high 68dgr. and a nice breeze blowing. We have more pine needles than leaves here but lately i've just mowed over everything because i AM NOT going to rake yards (it takes weeks for my back to stop having spasms from mowing and raking is even worse) and when i put the boys out there to do it somehow i am the one that ends up doing it anyway(I'm not sure how this happens) so this year i decided to just mow it all!

It is sunny and cool here in the south, for the past 3 days we have had frost late at night and in the early morning. The temperature is now 56 degrees and not expecting to get out of the 60's for the next couple of days. Some will say it is nice cool weather. Me I would say it is cold, I am sitting here now on the computer with an electric heater on. I don't want to turn the furnace on high.

You had me scared there for a minute! I had to read everything twice just to reassure myself you were ok! LOL! It's pretty warm out, but it's cloudy. It's supposed to rain tonight and through the weekend, so I think all of our little ghosts and goblins are going to get a bit wet tomorrow.

Your title got me thinking you hurt your spine LOL It's was a little on the cool side this morning but the day has warmed up a bit to 52F - still cold for me LOL. Was nice to see some sun but the wind ruined it all. Very nippy!

I'm here thinking 'oh no, grandpa bob has overdone it with his yardwork', when will I learn about your titles? I hope you enjoyed that beautiful day.

Glad to see the new avatar looking back at me. It is 79 degrees right now and partly cloudy and breezy at times. It is a nice day over all. Glad to see that you got your leaves mulched and getting things ready for the winter.

I certainly know how that feels I have osteoarthritis in my back. hope you get to feel better soon

first reaction..."omg the mower ran over him!?!" then i read it again lol! does having shredded leaves over them really protect the plants? it rarely rains here and hasnt snowed in probably 80 years..and when it DID it melted before touching ground..shoot for all i know it's been 100 years since it snowed here lol! today was average..about 93F, with a very light breeze and some scattered clouds. boy i would love to live in a place where you can actually see and feel all FOUR seasons!

Your weather sounds good! Here in Missouri, it's in the 60's and will up close to 70 sometime today. It's gonna be nice for the next few days, then cold weather will be upon us. ugh. I am so not ready but guess I have no choice.

I get so many leaves, I wait until the last bit to cover my plants. I just got done raking up piles in the background and now I need to do the front and then bring it all down to the curb for pickup..We are having a great day to do this, uppers 50's and sunny, tomorrow it is supposed to be even warmer, so I hope to get this part done in the next day or two..

Hi Grandpa Bob oh my you really got me, saw that headline and I m goint oh poor Grandpa Bob whatever happened, then as I read I really got my chuckle for the morning. You sure got some good mulch out of that pile of leaves,and your flower bed will take you come spring.Here its the same old same old. sunny and warm no breeze, some big fluffy white clouds and a blue sky, and very very dry.I think perhaps today we might get a bit cooler, have my fan on but really dont need it yet.

Oh you always get us going...lol. Tore up my spine...ha. Well here its beautiful, sunny, warm, windy, its hard to believe its this warm at the end of October, I always remember Halloween being cold.

Too cold for Ohio at this time of year. It's been going down to freezing at night. It's too early for that. But...it's better than in PA where they've already had 6 inches of snow.

Bob, I have to admit you definitely have a way with words!! I've learned not to pay attention to your attention getters - not to have a spasm when I see things like this title! Glad to know it was the leaves and not YOUR spine. You should see our yard! It is once again yellow. My husband keeps our yards immaculate. He keeps our grass cut and does the edges religiously. And he keeps the leaves blown out of the yard and taken off or burned. But today, you'd never know he did it only a few days ago. Where do all those leaves come from? But, then, again,we still have lots of leaves on our trees, so it will probably be continuously filling up with leaves in the next couple months - just lots of work for him to do.

I have always heard it is better to mow or shred the leaves up during fall instead of letting them stay that way all winter. It also makes for a good fertilizer. What is a spine? Only spine I know are a part that is on the body or spiney catus.

The weather here is just beautiful. It got all the way to 80's yesterday in kansas. I even went out for a walk after work you could'nt ask for a better day. The wind did not even blow as hard as it usually does. The weather here is suppose to be nice all weekend. I'll take this kind of weather any day.

It is beautiful here. The sky is clear and theres a cool breeze. Its not cold yet. It has been somewhat cooler. I have all the windows open and the birds are in this bush by the window and its so nice.My lil doggies are sleeping in the chair by the window.Making a plan to bring in my plants soon, and I think Ill put them in the extra bath tub. The cold will be here before too long....

The weather here is sunny and nice out! It is FINALLY cooling down and only about 70 degrees. I am so ready for it too. This is the longest summer I have ever endured here in the desert! It was 85 yesterday! I'm ready to be cold! lol

Hi GRANDPA BOB, I am glad you had a lovely day for the end of October, and doing your garden to protect the plants, as for us it was sunny this morning but towards the afternoon it became so very cold, it was dark and we also have rain, but I manged to put my lighted pumkins out side my front, its really looks spooky. Take care. Tamara

wow...thats kinda funny didnt expect that
