Clear and cold here yesterday with a stiff north wind.
I wish we would get a little snow at least, maybe enough to cover the unmowed grass. The shaggy yard was bugging me, so I used my derelict handheld blower and the wind to my advantage and blew the yard down.
Some of the leaves actually went where I wanted them to. I started up the Toro push mower - second pull - and mowed the yard, then ran the trimmer to clean up a bit.
Used a come a long and some cables to pull my son's dead car out of the spot where the gophers were trying to claim it into the driveway so it can sink where it belongs.
It's 25F here now, dawning clear and calm. Today, I will probably do a little limbing on the poplars I want to remove and maybe get the burn pile going.
