You are welcome!

This I like...." One medium rutabaga (386 grams) provides (1Trusted Source): Calories: 143 Carbs: 33 grams"

One 13 ounce rutabaga is only 143 calories and has 33 grams of Carbohydrate. Great if you are on keto or watching calories.

Hope you got a lot done today. Seems winter has arrived!

I was outside pretty much all day. It was sunny, with few clouds in the sky & warm - 86, which tied the record in 1984. It was quite breezy.

When I went out this morning, the areas where I had picked up leaves were covered again & with the breeze, leaves were cascading down. Rather than fighting the breeze trying to keep a tarp down & lugging it multiple times to the bin in the heat, I made the ‘executive’ decision that Cyde & I would ride all day. Tomorrow should have more clouds, at least 2 more trees should be almost bare by then, so doing leaves will be more productive.

Clyde (my JD 920) & I were out in the fields until about 5:30 and the entire farm is mowed - it was a great day to do it. This may be the last mowing the back fields need - we’ll see. The place looks like a park - I love it when it’s all mowed.

The first 3/4 of the day tomorrow will be good for working, then rain & much cooler temps - they will struggle to get to 50. I will have to get back on the leaf project tomorrow. I noticed the big pines (about 100 yo) are starting to drop their needles. The one pine, where I collect & bag needles for next year’s garden mulch, hasn’t started dropping yet, so I was able to mow the grass around it - easier to round up (with mower) & bag if the grass is short. Where the needles were down, it smells like turpentine when you mow through them. We also have wild mint under some of the cedar trees which smells delightful as it’s being mowed.

We have a preview of more winter-like conditions coming in tomorrow evening, then upper 60’s by the end of the week which isn’t too bad :-)
