It was brisk, but not windy out, so the kids helped rake the leaves. Cathy Rae snagged a beret for this outfit - because she says she has to do her 'pink thing'. Rudi was cozy in velour leggings and the first (and favorite) Holiday sweater. Jeff wore his new hat for the first time along with his sweatshirt. Mr. Bear thought it was quite balmy in his fur coat, and only got lost in the leaves twice. Cinnamon pumpkin buns and some hot sweet tea tasted fantastic after that.
"Here are fruits, flowers, leaves
and branches, And here is my heart
which beats only for you."

Photos were taken in Golden Valley north of Reno. The event is the Annual Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful Cleanup. There were six from the BLM who participated. Leon Thomas, Mike Cook, Rachel Crews, George Paiva, Gary Gumienny, and myself. I took the photos.

Woods landscape rakes are built with rugged durability for tough clean-up jobs, as well as fine raking features for light-duty lawn care and general maintenance.
• High-strength, box-type beams and spring-steel tines handle rocks, dirt,
and sand
• Adjustable angles and 360-degree pivot control flow of material to left,
right, or center
• One-inch tine spacing provides superior material collection for a smooth, even grade
Heather Mary Rockwell, aka Mom. Special thanks to stone carver Scott Wall for the loaned chisel. It made all the difference
This is my (unfinished) contribution for the rose & rake challenge. The roses are made of a succulent plant in my garden, with metal clay, and the leaves are metal clay as well. Rest is copper/SS sheet.
Class 108, Three-Car D.M.U. Set, (comprising No.E50604, No.E59390, & No.E50646), on the 15.11, Whitby to Newcastle Service, and having just departed Glaisdale Station, is about to pass under the road bridge, at Rake House, on 11/07/1975. The train can be seen passing the down fixed distant signal for Glaisdale Station.
This location is notable, both for the attractive, stone built, Rake House Farm, whose date stone, over the main doorway, indicates a build date of 1749, and for the planned junction of the ill-fated Cleveland Extension Mineral Railway, which was intended to link the ironstone mines at Glaisdale with the North Eastern Railway, at Skelton. Construction of the line commenced in 1874, and embankments were built and cuttings were excavated, and just one bridge was constructed, here at Rake House, just before the point where line was supposed to have bridged the River Esk. However, with many ironstone mines and furnaces closing, the line was never completed, and no rails were ever laid. The main contractor for the line was John Waddell & Sons, of Edinburgh, who were also involved in the building the Scarborough and Whitby Railways. Local site supervision was under an Irish engineer named Gallaher, who was referred to locally as “Mr. Waddell”, and so the route came to be known as Paddy Waddell’s Railway.

After this a whole bunch more fell and you can hardly tell I raked. *pout* I only did a small bit of yard. Shaun did more later, but it's all been fallen on again.
Gabby decided to help my mom rake leaves at her house. She was dressed so cute, so I of course had to take some pics.
Heaping the leaves into the street for the city leaf-collection truck, which will come around in a day or two.
Our Daily Challenge: GETTING READY
For a photography project, I recreated the characters from the Decemeberists' album "The Hazards of Love" into photo form.
If you haven't heard the album, I strongly recommend it, it is beautiful. The entire album is a story about four characters, Margaret, William, The Queen, and The Rake; fictional and sometimes mythical characters, taking place in the Victorian Era.
Yesterday between rain storms, someone brought the disk harrow, Mark had bought, and this Minneapolis Moline Rake/Tedder. It never looked like it had seen a grease gun in years, the balls in all of the grease zerks were rusted in place but we were able to break them open, there must be 30 or more of them on the thing. We put a couple springs in place of some bailing wire on one lever so we could adjust it. Scraped off some hardened grease around the gears, so we could adjust the gears into forward or reverse, as we wanted it to go. We then started to pull it around to see how it would work, making adjustments as we needed to. It will be handy to stir the hay next year to help it dry better. This year I tried raking the hay into small windrows after 1 day to try and help it to dry but even in a small windrow it is still too thick to dry very well.

A beautiful New Year's Eve and K and I are married seven years now. Her Mom loved to rake and burn when Kathryn was a kid, now she has her own forest home...
