I kept hoping that the wind would start blowing like crazy and blow all of these darn leaves out of my yard.  The only problem with that is it could blow my neighbors leaves into my yard.  The good thing is my yard isn’t that big.  Just a good rake, muscle and a few hours and I can be done if the leaves would stop falling.

Have you seen those lawn vac systems that hook up to your riding mower?  Man those things are nice.  One thing is for sure, if I had a very large yard, I would have one of those things.  They make getting up leaves a breeze.  My parents had one since they had a huge yard for all of us kids to run and play in.  Dad could get up all of the leaves in just a few hours.  Man would he be dirty afterwards but it was a lot better than raking for days that’s for sure!
