First sign of changing seasons is the occasional leaf that has been knocked loose from its perch and flutters to the Koi pond. Dennis has his net handy and ready to keep the water as clean as possible for as long as possible. Not ignoring signs such as the leaves, we have begun work on some heavier items on the list. The circa 60s Ford has had an oil change and grease job and the Lincoln just got new brakes today. Check lists go hand in hand with preparation for the “s” word. It all keeps us older ones on Stauffer Avenue on our toes.
