Maybe if you got to bed at a 'normal' hour you wouldn't get woke up at noon!
Our yard is totally fenced in and we have a lot of mature maple trees. With the way the wind blows around here very few of 'my leaves' blow out of the yard and quite a few blow into my yard from the neighborhood. 10 leaves? I raked and blew Friday and when I woke yesterday morning I looked out and I could hardly see any grass in the yard at all, it was all covered in two inches of wet leaves. I've tried the mowing thing in the past but if the wind isn't blowing at 30mph the chopped leaves just sit there and come spring my grass under those leaves turns to ****.
As much as I hate to I'll be burning leaves today.
what can I say, I like sleeping all morning....hehehehe
besides, where do you begin to do leaf removal on a yard like this...
?
besides, the leaf blower bothers these guys, that hang in my yard....
click on this, and let it load....
sorry for the shaky video, and commentary, but that stuff is very exciting to watch, especially that close, filming this had my heart pounding...
so that's why I hate the sound of leaf blowers... they could care less about my loud riding mower, and never run away, even when I'm within 25 yards of them... screaming leaf blower from my "neighbor" makes them seek cover.
