I don’t think that grass was meant to be mown, or leaves were meant to be raked. What kind of evolution would have brought this on us? I guess it’s our own fault, if we hadn’t chopped down the trees in the first place then there wouldn’t be the grass, and the leaves would be all happy sitting on the ground next to the trees.

I guess what I’m trying to say, is that after 3.5 hours this afternoon, I’m still not done. I got tired, but I really had to stop working because it was dark out. I was able to take care of the leaves and mow the front and side yards, and managed to take care of most of the leaves in the backyard. I still have to collect two more piles, and then mow. I used my blower/vac/mulcher to put all the leaves in piles, then vacuumulch them directly into a garbage bag. I started at 2:30 and finished at 6.
