for the last little while the outer shell of the buds on the elm trees have been coming down…

then, when I looked outside on Friday, the ground and decks were covered with elm seeds…

after I put out the cushions and went to sit down, they were already covered, lol…

used a thermos for my drink to keep the seeds out…

spent time with the net to collect as much of the debris as possible from the pond… filled two nets, lol…
