The freeze really brought all the leaves down.

EEEEKKKK!! I know that feeling - I've spent the last two weekends doing exactly the same job. I used muscles that I forgot I had


If you have a big enough mat lying around you could always


Good luck!

They are pretty, aren't they? It's hard to see in the picture, but the leaves from three different trees all converge here and there are three different blocks of color.

Ok, I confess. Aaron will suck them up with the lawn mower.
It's crazy though, he makes one or two passes and has to empty the bin right away. It still takes a long time.

I've never understood the concept of a leaf blower. All it does is blow leaves around, and then the wind moves them right back again later.

I used to love to rake leaves when I lived in a house. It was great to gather up a huge pile and then leap in!

Wow that's a lot of leaves, hmmm maybe you wouldn't notice if I sent down a bunch from my yard to keep them company....

Seriously though I know the feeling my backyard looks about the same.

I'm a freak, but I love to rake leaves! That's a lot of leaves, though!

I'll send you Squishy. I was raking leaves - he was racing into the pile & chasing them all over the place.

Aww pants!
Wish I could help out, but live too far!

Anyways, the most I would do is rake them into a pile then leap in
Then I would have to start all over again!
