time to go back outside

Fall or Spring?

Yes; I do miss them both.

It’s a lot like shoveling snow.

The worst sound in the world is the leaf blower. I hate it. I like raking, but frankly, the ground prefers when the leaves stay. Lawns don’t look as pretty, but it’s better for the soil.

Both But a lot of cleaning going on though!!!

Been there done that?

That’s what happens when you plant trees from the evil forest.

Leaves now and in several months…the snow plow driving by 5 minutes after spending an hour clearing your driveway. Nature’s way of teaching us tolerance.

My birch trees drop leaves until after Christmas. I have to keep after them because the little leaves will kill little spots in the lawn if left. Mandatory, on-going, drudge type work. Worst kind.

The dropouts are always behind everyone else.

Yep

The good thing is that this raking will be the last time. (Famous last words)…..

I wait until all the leaves finish falling. Let’s see, it’s been about 6 years now.

His coat will also fall off the rack.

I love fall colors but I hate “fall” ,,,meaning when the leaves fall. Bare trees are depressing.
