A Final Strim

After a rather wet few days Thursday turned out much better with some long sunny spells. After a chilly night it took a while for the temperature to warm up a bit. With only a light wind it felt pleasant in the afternoon sunshine.

We had planned a trip to the plot in the afternoon. It has been a few weeks since the grass was strimmed. It was desperately in need of another trim.
There is definitely a look of autumn on the plot now. The leaves from the plum trees have turned yellow and are now falling to the ground. It’s only a couple of weeks ago that we were harvesting plums.
In the middle of the afternoon there were some very dark clouds over the motorway. It looked for a time that we might get a heavy shower but luckily the rain stayed away.
It took me most of the afternoon to finish strimming the plot. I still need to do the edges of the beds but I will do them over the next few visits.  
I’m wondering if this will be the last time I need to cut the grass this year. Perhaps just one more time.

    1. The grass seems to grow when nothing else will.

  2. I can hardly believe it is October. I have to cut grass as well, but it is raining and I can't. I hope it would be the final cut, though, I doubt. The temperatures are around 16°C. Everything is so green.

    1. No rain forecast for us for a week or so but we are getting heavy dews so any long grass remains wet all day. The trees here are definitely taking on their autumn colours.
