One of my chores was winterizing; I had to put the deck furniture into storage and install a sandbag in the barbecue (so the winter winds don&#8217;t lift it and dump it over).  I also cleaned up remnants of the fall trimmings and put them in a compost bag for pickup.  The time left I spent weeding.  At about 5:30, darkness overtook me; I could no longer spot the weeds.<\/p>\n<p>Out in the yard today, I never saw the sun; the sky was firmly overcast.  The temp was mild; eventually I had to shed my coat and hat while weeding.  I&#8217;d have said 10\u00b0C, while <a href=\"https:\/\/weather.gc.ca\/city\/pages\/bc-19_metric_e.html\">weather.gc.ca<\/a> reports 8\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the temp actually was, the conditions outdoors were very pleasant.  As darkness fell, it was easy to feel well and content.  I&#8217;m hoping everyone else felt the same.<\/p>\n<p>Jack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\">Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tutor shares observations from an afternoon&#8217;s yard chores.
