Before and After........

 This is what is looked life before

There were more piles around the side of the house

Hubby used his leaf blower to suck them up and mulch them.

Four full bags and one partial bag later......

It looks a whole lot better.

Well probably until tomorrow and more will drop........

By the way the garden waste bags from Costco are the best I find, followed by Home Depot ones.  I buy them in packs of 25 from Costco and they generally last all year.  It helps that the leaf blower mulches the leaves, so less bags used.

October 28th and no jacket required........

I have been out in the garden raking leaves and got so hot that I had to take my fleece jacket off and finish my gardening in my t-shirt.  I am guessing this will be it for nice warm weather.  We did have some snow forecast for the end of the week, but I see it has changed to rain, which is perfectly fine by me!!

We had a hard frost on the weekend, plus a lot of rain, so it resulted in a lot of leaves falling.  Now I don't know about you, but I prefer to rake leaves when the weather is nicer, even though they were wet.

 Good exercise and didn't take too long.  Also raked up the leaves by the sewer drain and some in the back and side yards. 

 Looks a lot better but that other tree has to drop it's leaves yet.  Look how blue the sky is, it's a wonderful day out there for the end of October.
