We have several trees in our yard and so every fall we rake leaves. Sometimes that's quite a job. Last year we had some help from some of the kids and grandkids. This year we did again. That's always nice.
We don't have a big yard but we have several trees so there are usually enough leaves to keep us busy for a while.
We got a leaf blower a few years ago. I think it makes it much easier.
But we also have rakes, which provides opportunity for little helpers to get involved.
That's always lots of fun, if not interesting at times.
This young lady also felt the pumpkins we had out for sale on our front yard needed to be arranged just so.
So, in addition to helping with the leaves, she rearranged the pumpkins for us. Who knows, maybe it will help them sell better. The pumpkins are actually part of a fund raiser our Young Women have done for the last several years; they provide the trailer and keep it stocked. We just provide the yard. But this future little young woman was doing what she could to help out.
We wanted to get the leaves raked so the city would pick them up. Unfortunately, the date the city picked got here before the leaves were all down out of the trees.
We have one tree in particular that holds a lot of leaves. And, as luck would have it, a good half or more of them were still up in the tree.
Actually, only one tree in our whole yard had dropped pretty much all its leaves. All the others still have plenty left so we will likely be out doing this again.
In fact, three days later you couldn't tell we'd done anything at all. The joys of homeownership, right?
