The season has changed, and Fall is here. A bit of Indian Summer visited for a few days with warmer temperatures, but some cold has blown in. With temps in the 30's last night, the woodstove was finally fired up. Aaahhhh, it's nice and warm in the house, and Pippin O'Chi can run around without a sweater, T-shirt or sweatshirt on. She is running around as a "naked Chihuahua."
With fall comes leaf raking. When you live in a heavily wooded area, leaves are like a crunchy, brown carpet that covers thickly over the grass. Some neighbors can't deal with a single leaf on their grass. One neighbor has been creative lately, giving me an oppportunity to tease him.
Last weekend, I heard him out using his lawn tractor, but the funny thing was when I saw how he was using it. He wasn't mowing the leaves to mulch them. He had his snowblade on the lawn tractor and was pushing the leaves. When I asked him about it, he said, "I can move more leaves quicker than I can raking or blowing them."
Yesterday, I heard him using his leaf blower. Okay, maybe he needed to get into smaller areas, like corners between the house and porch, to get those pesky leaves out. No way - he was on the garage roof blowing the leaves off the roof.
Hummm, do you think the leaf blower would get all the leaves out of the gutters if used?
Happy Fall to you all!
