You never know what I get to do for my clients. Today, my client asked me to walk Gina my last half hour of work so we wandered up to some of their fields and Gina had fun looking for moles and voles and just sniffing around. I've never been a dog owner but Gina is one of my favorite dogs and she is always so happy to see me. She's another one of the many rescues from the South that dot the landscape around here. Such a love. 🐾

Some 'green' ideas.

New England is famed for its fall foliage — splendid red, yellow and orange canopies that give way to barren branches and the annual chore known as “fall cleanup.” For some homeowners, that means raking or blowing leaves and putting them into trash bags to be hauled off to landfills.

Definitely something to be concerned about. I have seen these worns in pretty much every property in the area I work on. Not good.

They reproduce without mating and are rapidly chewing through soil across the US. But there’s still a lot we don’t know about "jumping" worms.

Not good. We should be on the lookout for these!

The spotted lanternfly, an invasive insect, continues to wreak havoc in several East Coast states as more counties go under quarantine.

Last mow next door and significant leaf cleanup at the same time as the nut tree has dropped a majority of its leaves already. Two for one.
