A Date With A Rake

So so many leaves. Our township comes by with a giant leaf sucker once a week for about two months. We have to rake them to the curb and cross our fingers they don’t blow back in the yard.

I read an interesting article about leaving leaves on parts of the garden for their nutrition to go back in - I still think I'd have to collect my magnolia, but might think of leaving others. Nice perspective - and rake!

Nice image. Now I know why you haven’t been posting lately! 😂

Ugh, I hate when they blow back. Probably explains why I haven't racked mine yet. Yeah, that's it. Nice capture

@swchappell lol. Plus we have a psycho neighbor who freaks out if “our” leaves blow on her property.🙄

[BeckyJo]

Yes that’s a good idea if they can break down. No matter how much we rake in the fall, we still have a tons of leaves to rake up in the spring. @anniesue

@narayani thank you! That and a bunch of other reasons. Hoping for a more relaxing 2022.

@beckyk365 hope all is ok

All those leaves look like lots of fun for children and dogs! Great that you included the rake to tell the story.

@narayani my brother and sister in law have been very ill. Been trying to help out as much as possible.

[BeckyJo]

@seacreature oh yes dogs and kids would love all these leaves!

[narayani]

@beckyk365 I’m sorry to hear that Becky, I hope they recover soon.

[Desi]

@beckyk365 Oh dear so sorry to hear about your brother and sister in law. Hopefully they are soon well again. Look after yourself

[BeckyJo]

@narayani @seacreature thank you both. We are cautiously optimistic that my brother is turning a corner. My SIL is facing a difficult surgery next month that will hopefully help some of her issues. We’re all trying to be positive.
