Leave pick up

OK, the wife got after me to start picking up our leaves. Yes we have a bit of foliage here not like you guys back there but just when I’m gonna get started. It’s supposed to rain at 10 o’clock or start raining ain’t that a bitch? I don’t think it has rain here in three months.

I would blow mine towards the woods on one side in the front yard and into the woods behind the house. By the time they were all gone I would have a wall of leaves almost chest deep.

I just happened to run across a picture of the leaves in the yard when I lived in Gladys.

That's the big "wall of leaves" at the edge of the from yard.

Yeah, well I just about cleaned up my whole yard and we had a lot of trees that had not quit dripping leaves yet so yes right now I have to redo the entire yard which should be a little easier than the first go around. I already filled up 18 bags it looks like I got another, eight or so to go

I've got mostly maples in my yard, planted them myself many years ago. Also a couple of oaks. Had a few birch trees too but mostly swapped them with firs which are seamless in the case of fallen leaves. The maples accompanied by oaks make a big job every authumn and I have to fill up 5 or 6 big sacks of old stuff and relocate it to a ditch along a side of my second property. This year turned out very short on time and I missed the moment. Yesterday's storm brang a few santimeters of snow onto the ground which cancelled the deal so far. The forecast promises warming back up in the next week so I foresee some gim with dirty wet stuff soon.

It was fun a couple decades ago to put a hill of old leaves on fire. Fun for me and not for neighbours who built big houses close to my place so no such games anymore (but who knows?:))

Hey vlad, I was wondering if you guys had weeping Willows we had them in  East Coast. I do not see them out here for some reason and yes, I was also worried about whether turning the shit before I get a chance to pick up all of them not the matter of life and death. I was just trying  to get them all picked up before if it doesn’t happen no big deal yes we also use the burn leaves when I was a kid moved west in 1980 so I don’t know if people still do it back there burning leaves out here is not very common… bob

Weeping Willows? A kind of this? They grow here, not very common. I don't know why. Usually you see them near a river or a pond. Those in the picture were catched in Belorussia. It's 1000km to the West from my place and a little souther. But in general the same environment.
