Yes I must sweep up the leaves on the drive too if the wind does not blow them all into the road as wet leaves on a slope can be an invitation for a fall. I find my first priority at falling leaves time is getting them off my alpines as they do not appreciate a wet covering so every dry interval will see me scooping lime leaves off heathers and beech leaves off gentians.The "To Do" list is getting longer and longer!
The sky brightened and the rain stopped. I bundled myself into my raincoat and grabbed my camera to lighten the November gloom with some pics from my garden. two minutes later i was back indoors with one picture and my camera under my raincoat to protect it from the downpour. Bright again now and rain stopped but duckpond has reappeared. Here is my one picture of the beautiful autumn tints. I may try again later.
I braved the weather and got soaked but not my camera which was safely under my raincoat. My neighbour has hired a mechanical digger to dig out the foundations for his new garage and the mud and puddles on our Bristol clay is stupendous.
The rain here has been something else. Yesterday I got soaked coming home from work and today we gad to replace the tarpaulin on the roof of the chicken run and got even more soaked doing that! We had no choice though, a few holes had appeared in the old one and my poor girls had very little dry space in their run. It's all sorted now though and the sun has come out
Not quite so wet this morning and little wind so might get some work done outside. It is still very dark so will wait a bit as I do not want to get caught out again in the rain two days running.Conservatory temperature did not drop below ten degrees last night so still mild.
Morning everyone : ), fruitcake I know what you mean it's not stopped raining all week in the NW, thousands of wet slippy leaves covering the car parks at work, so dangerous and we've got another week of rain to come. Marion your pictures look lovely and them carnations will smell gorgeous, I bet you can't wait : ). Pat lovely pictures too, I've saved the ones with the mountains it looks gorgeous where you live and so peaceful too : )
The mechanical digger is going full pelt up in my neighbour'e garden so i just took out my hearing aids and got to work. Too wet to step on the soil but could stretch far enough to place the plants where I want to plant them. Planted over a hundred bolbs in pots - daffs, anemones, erythroniums and crocuses. My William Shakespeare rose still has two nice blooms on and the asters are still giving a good show. They go well with the gazanias which are still blooming.

Nice to see a bit of blue sky even for a short while. I have answered your message Fruitcake and hope to see you Tuesday now.
