Yesterday was a beautiful day! Sunny, not a cloud in the sky and near 80 degrees. A perfect day to spend in the yard and banging out some raking, UGH!
Clearly, I didn't think things through back in 2002 when I planted these maple trees. At the time they were no bigger around than ones wrists but fast forward 22 years and they're monsters now. With their size comes leaves, seemingly endless amounts of leaves!
As you can see in the pics below the ground is covered, deep too, AND there's equally as many still to fall, ALAS! Keep in mind that this is just one section of my property, my front lawn has just as many leaves, if not more, so I still have a lot of raking to do...

After raking -
(29) leaf bags jam packed full -
The town does leaf pickup one time in the fall, which is scheduled for me on Monday, November 11, so right around the corner, which is really what's driving me to get as much raked and bagged as possible before pickup day.
Which reminds me, need to sign off now and make a BJs run to purchase more bags, as I'm all out.
