i love where i live; inexpensive, big lot, woodsy.....but good lord the fall cleanup is insane!
i've spent over 6 hours in the last 2 weeks blowing/raking/whispering these leaves into some kind of order so the city services can pick them up but by the next morning...the yard is covered again.
i bought a new blower last week and that has helped a ton; my riding mower has the mulch bags on the back so it works like a big vaccum but my yard is so "natural" in the back that i have to do most of it by hand.
on the up side...my kids love it!
this is the only time during the year where i think living in a city would be beneficial...'cause i'm friggin tired of leaf duty!
leaf pile after 2 hours today
she's standing to show the depth
the other part of the front yard i didn't get to today (doing yardwork on my birthday )
the girls helped out
digging for her lost shoe
trust fall
cartwheel into leaves
and i haven't even started the back yard yet
