this is the time if year i feel a lot of futility....i blew leaves yesterday....i blew leaves today....i'll blow leaves tomorrow....i'll blow leaves every day for the next three weeks that doesn't rain.....
maybe i'll get lucky and we'll get a real good hard rain with some wind, and that'll take at least a week off of waiting for them to fall....of course i'll have a mountain of wet leaves to blow, that will probably take me a week to deal with......

Professionals have a system worked out.8)
Hauling away leaves all day. Leaf blower them into rows, rake on to 12x20 tarp, fold in half and pull away.

Time for quick dinner. Grilled cheese, clam chowder, pickle (sliced), pale ale.

Working in shed after dinner. Or maybe tomorrow. I'll burn one and decide. I did a lot, I could justify fucking off for the rest of the evening.


I live on top of a rock. Leaves fall and the wind takes care of the rest.
What little that accumulates around the hedge I can rake up 1 or 2 a year in about an hour.:D

Leaves, leaves, and more leaves the damn oaks here drop leaves all winter long. The white oaks will drop most of theirs over a few weeks but the water oaks just sprinkle until spring and let them go shortly before the new ones come on.

Did a defoliation, took out the trash, and kept the grow room clean.
Also sprayed a cactus outside with some copper, it is coming down with something on one side.
