It turns out there are still outdoorsy things for me to do.  As promised, the neighbors A&S saved me two bins-worth of leaves to use for mulching the new raised bed, the compost, the veg garden, etc.  Also, I cleared out a section of the last raised bed along the back of the house and seeded it with several varieties of poppies, so they can stratify and be more protected.  I’ll do some minimal leaf-raking out front for appearances’ sake.  The rain has continued on and off, so I don’t have to worry about watering.
