1st Sandpoint Realty 'Simply Sunday' helps show the sharp contrasts in colors of the season.

Sandpoint Realty Simply Sunday Pumpkin

While I certainly enjoy decorating for the different Holidays, Halloween is certainly a double edge sword.

The pumpkin bags are filled with needles and leaves. Those do not hop in the bags themselves...lol. As you can see there is a layer of needles in just one part of the yard that needs be raked and bagged.

Fortunately for me, I enjoy the outside work during the North Idaho fall months. The long shadows, cool but not cold temps, softer sunlight, glimpses of the year past coming to an end. A chance to peacefully reflect, while loosing ones self with the work at hand.

Enjoy the week ahead North Idaho. Be safe, stay healthy!

Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint-Idaho I don't like raking leaves, so I am pretty sure I would not like raking pine needles either ...... LOL

We can relate with 'helicopters' of the Boxelder and pine needles from Deoceder trees on the property, Mark! They will let loose in a few weeks. Happy Fall!

Good evening Mark,

I remember raking all the colorful fall leaves growing up in upstate NY. I loved the colors, the smell and jumping in all the leaves we raked in piles! LOL!

Mark, You described fall yard work so beautifully that it almost makes raking sound relaxing!

Good morning, Mark... what a clever way to collect fallen leaves and decorate for Halloween. I've not see those kinds of trash bags here... maybe because our leaves are not yet falling.

I have a feeling that kids are pretty happy after visiting your home on Halloween for some trick or treating, haha.

Hello Mark, Double edge sword, I agree but raking leaves need to me done in my backyard. Never got the those bags.
