Yes.There are still enough leaves left on everything to block some of the wind through the woods, so it was really nice. There were lots of other folks out there today enjoying it as well.
When I got back I looked again for the rake and it was right where it was supposed to be.
Selective visual acuity, perhaps? My subconscious must have been driving the ship today!
I did end up getting a bit of garden stuff done, so I guess it all worked out okay in the end.
Do your seedlings rest dormant in the cellar, or do you have lights set up for them?
