Elaine and I worked for over 2 hours this afternoon cleaning up the leaves in our front yard. The rain a couple days ago really brought them down. We had enough sunshine to dry them some so I went over the yard with the catcher removed to chop them up. Then went back over to chop them up some more and pick them up in the catcher. We hauled them back to the compost pile with a little moving cart which worked well. We also cleaned them up out of the gutter of our front curb. There was still some water under them so Elaine ranked them out to dry for a while before my "chopping". We were pleased to get it done and realized how timely it was when we saw a little flag in the yard indicating that Merle's Greenhouse had put on the fall treatment of fertilizer and whatever else they apply. The two neighbor ladies also got their lawns cleaned up later this afternoon. The days of enjoying the colorful leaves on the trees were very limited this year with the rain, but they will make good compost and gave us good exercise.
