Hallowe'en & Raking Leaves

[kybearfuzz]

Last night, I handed out candy for about a half-hour. One of my local, non-LJ buddies was having an impromptu birthday bash at a nearby restaurant. So I shut down early, giving away candy to about a dozen kids. As I was pulling out of my drive, it started to rain hard. I guessed that shut down most treaters, which was a shame as there seemed to be more kids out this year.

Dinner was great as was the company. The man who owned the restaurant kept trying to pair up the birthday boy with a beautiful young hostess, unaware that he had just gotten back from Maine this week where he married his longtime partner. I broke off my diet in order to have some birthday cake which was delicious.


... so... many... leaves...
I took the day off and tackled the yard. The rain and cooler temps had finally caused the large maple in my front yard to shed its leaves... in droves. Luckily, the gutter guards seem to be doing their job pretty well. I raked the wet leaves and hauled them into the woods behind my house for about two hours. It's pretty exhausting.


Me, Rake, Leaves...
So naturally, I had to take a break. Thankfully, I don't feel the urge to workout now as I'm beat. Not sure what I'll do with the rest of my day, but I'm sure I'll figure something out.

Happy Friday!

Rakng leaves is one of my fav things to do. Honestly. I love Fall weather--it never lasts long here, though.

I'd rather mulch them into my yard with the mower, but this was just too many, so I ended up clearing them with the rake. I admit I do like how it looks when it's done.

You conquered those leaves in a most triumphant manner!

Excellent!

Lucky to have the woods behind the house! I would like to build a compost heap when we get a house.

I am lucky. My property goes about 20 paces into the woods, so I'm luckily dumping them on my property. I wouldn't mind having a more functional compost heap there.
