Normally I could care less about the leaves but they are so many I thought this year I would have them cleaned up. Not a cheap project but the yard looks good and it got done before the snow fell.
Lovely shot. They are doing a good job. My garden looks very scruffy at the moment too. Too many fallen leaves and the rain isn't giving me time to clean them up. I do that myself with a rake and add them to the compost bin. Mind you the garden is small compared to yours.
