That’s probably it. We did have an unusually warm winter. I think it went into the single digits only once.

Hilllary actually had the correct label.

I bought my first snowblower at age 72. Used it for about two hours.

As I said in my original question, it’s garden residue. For example, green beans, cuke vines, shriveled potato vines, squash vines, tomatoes, flowers, waste cabbage and kale leaves, plus their stems and roots. Shredded with a weed whacker or hedge shears. I actually have put most of that into the compost heap, but am wondering if just leaving it in place would be a better idea.

I planted a conservation grass mix years ago. That seems to be working well in our open areas but I still need to brush cut once a year in late winter to keep tree seedlings and other undesirable plants under control. The grass seeds attract tons of birds this time of year. I am in New Hampshire.

May I add that many of us boomers lived through the Vietnam horror and the student deaths at Ohio State, not to mention the Nixon Watergate debacle. I am by no means a MAGA person. And I never answer my phone from an unknown number.

I almost hope one of the whack jobs becomes speaker of the house to wake up the lazy voters.

Very much incorrect. Many of us baby boomers went through the horror of the Vietnam War and have a completely different world view.

Is there an anti-QAnon “go fund me” to help protect these folks?

That expression looks like a wish for a broomstick.

This is one reason why I am very reluctant to visit Turkey, in addition to the official government. As an LGBTQ person I can’t imagine feeling safe there.

A nice dream garden. Maybe prune off some of those lower branches from the nearby trees.
