All dressed up and nowhere to go.

That's what our newly mown lawns and tidied gardens remind me of -  all tidied up and no-one coming to enjoy them. Ah well, that's Covid.

Before I could mow the lawns I had to rake up lots of dead leaves (extra). They are already dead before they fall off  the gumtree. There is just one mid-size branch that appears distressed and our arborist says he will remove it in March as well as remove all the smaller dead branches to give the tree a bit of boost. Gumtrees are expensive creatures.
