Yard work in pictures
Ahhh. Fall. The season of panicked yard work. Snow is knocking on the door and the tree still hasn't dropped any leaves! What is a girl to do?! They MUST BE RAKED before the snow covers the world. Otherwise, you'll have an utterly disgusting mess to deal with come spring. Yuck.
Lucky us! The tree has finally turned in the last two weeks. Maybe we'll get them all before it permasnows out there. Maybe not. Either way, the yard is a bit of a mess.
Keep in mind, we've raked the yard 2 times in the last 5 days. The trash people were awfully nice to take away 5 sacks of leaves today! I figured since it stopped raining for an hour or so, I'd take advantage of the "nice weather" and clean up this mess. Life is not easy. It's never easy, in fact. So to think that I'd get away with this task without anything to worry about is laughable. There were only two leaf bags left! Not wanting to make any treks anywhere to acquire additional leaf sacks, I put the whole of the yard in the remaining two using little more beyond sheer force and intimidating grunts (leaves fear grunting.)
Bag #1
Bag #1 full. Time for Bag #2.
Tada! Success! The yard is raked and I can hide inside with coffee or tea or hot cocoa or toddys or what not for the rest of the day and not worry about anything!
...until tomorrow comes...
K.Thx.Bye.
