Just went for a walk with my doggo. The colours are amazing, the leaf crunch is there. Many people are out and about at the dog parks, parking lots are almost full.
What’s holding you back from getting the family out for an hour long walk? it’s great for your legs, back and lungs and keeps any pets tired so you can enjoy the rest of your day even more?
Hope you had a great weekend whatever your original plans were.
Stay safe and happy Ottawa!


How do you clean up leaves? I’m new to lawncare, so I’ve bagged up the thickest piles and run a lawnmower over the slight detritus that’s left. The “mulch mow” didn’t chop up the leaves as much as I expected, so I’m not sure if I should rake up those bits or let nature take its course.
Well, I have an acreage in the country with about 20 mature maple trees. I drive over them with my ride on mower with the bagger on. Then dump them all into a big pile to compost over the winter. Makes great compost when mixed with grass clippings. I will leave the last small amounts on the lawn for the bugs over winter.
