Leaves!
That time of year again. I'm getting too old for this crap. Spent over 6 hours blowing and burning leaves today. Lynda helped burn some but the new knee still isn't 100%. Also spent last weekend cleaning them up. We have a variety of trees that all drop leaves at a different time so we're not done yet. Supposed to rain even maybe snow tomorrow so decided to clean up what I could before they got soaked. Okay, think I'll go pass out now, I ache everywhere.

Kathy has been pretty busy here with them too. We bought a sweeper-bagger contraption that she pulls behind the small tractor. Beats the shit out of raking them. Glad to hear that Lynda is up and around. I hope it rains and snows so there won't be as many candy-beggars tomorrow night.

Our leaves are just now beginning to fall off but my biggest problem with them is keeping them out of the ditch that runs the length of our driveway .I blow mine out into the yard and chop them up with my mower and let them be .Unfortunately my neighbors above me on both sides dont do anything with theirs and the wind blows them to me .Im not looking forward to starting leave patrol.

I blew them out of the ditch down the side of house, over 300' of ditch. We're on a corner, southeast, so when the winds blow which are usually from the west it will fill up with leaves from the neighbors.

I used to rake and burn them. I find it easier to leaf blow them into a big pile and just run the mulching mower over them. I used to rake a pile 6 feet high and 15 feet wide. Now I just get them spread evenly in the center of the yard and run the mower over them. They sink in the grass or blow away whatever they doing but they are gone and it is much easier.
Now the old fire can just burns the branches that fall out of the tree and slowly build up in the corner by the bushes and fence.

I just pull out the lawnmower and mulch the leaves we get from the trees around us. Now I also shovel leaves when it snows because I have a huge weeping willow that is on a different season than the rest of us. It doesn't drop it's leaves until January and that really stinks.
