Got them all cleaned up yesterday. Then it rained and got windy overnight, the lawn behind the shed and next to the driveway is covered again. Suppose to have winds up to 50mph today, cut the lawn yesterday as short as I could. Hopefully the leaves will scoot on out of here when the winds come.

Picked up another half trailer load of leaves today out of the back yard. Looks like we have about 90% of them down back there. Guess I'll try tomorrow to do the front yard since I'm on a forced vacation next week (no work). Rain is in the forecast so I'll see what tomorrow brings.

We had some pretty nasty winds thru here over the weekend. The kids spent Saturday cleaning up the leaves, then the storms covered the yard again with leaves. But that darn Weeping Willow just will not give them up. It must still have at least 3/4 of the leaves still on it.

Well we got those winds. Didn't do much in the way of cleaning up the leaves but of course we lost power around 9:30 last night. Latest repair estimate is 11:30 PM Wednesday, that better not be right. Going to have to keep the generator going at night, with lows in the 30's it'll get too cold in the house without it. Don't like leaving it running all night plus I'll go through $100 of gas.

We lucked out, got power back Tuesday morning. Their first estimate was 11:30 AM Tuesday, then 11:30 AM Wednesday, the 11:30 PM Thursday. Looks like they use a random number generator to give repair estimates, of course the 11:30 part doesn't seem to random.
