The End Is Near

One thing I really have a hard time doing is cleaning up leaves. It seems like it never ends and when you think you are done, you find you still have more to do later. Since all my trees are finally bare I decided to go out and try to get them all cleaned up before the weather gets bad. I had the hardest time cleaning my driveway. Off to the sides of my very long driveway I have gravel. It makes it hard to clean and bag leaves when you have gravel underneath. The driveway took me one full day to do and I didn't have gloves to wear so my hands were all gross and slimy from all the wet leaves and dirt. I got the front yard cleaned up and I did most of the backyard yesterday. I still have just a little more I need to do but the end is near. After Travis got home last night I had him help me take the leaf bags to the curb so they can be picked up. We started off walking the bags down the long driveway one or two at a time and that got tiring real fast. Then Travis had a smart idea, we piled all the leftover bags in the van and even on top of the van so we could get the job done faster. It was hard hard work to get all those leaves bagged but I'm glad I got it taken care of. My yard looks so much better now!
