Leaves

Leaves, leaves and more leaves.

Holy Moly do we have leaves at the new house.

One day I spent 4 or more hours picking up leaves (really fight with the lawn mower because every 2 minutes or so the shoot would get plugged up).  And I broke the leaf blower.  It wasn't a good day.

I decided that there were way to many leaves so I was just going to have to rack.

So I racked up a big pile and let Matthew play in it.

Matthew played his little heart out in the leaves even after dark.

A week or so later, I racked the whole yard of leaves into small piles.  Man did I have piles!

It took me all day to rack everything into piles and then another 1/2 day to move the piles (Thank goodness I had help moving the piles otherwise I would have been at it for a whole day!)  Did I hear you say that you wanted to see our yard?  Ok since you asked so nicely.

Here is a picture of it the day we bought it:

And here are some recent ones:

Looks different doesn't it?  The house does anyway.

We had to completely redo the exterior including the roof, windows (except 2 that we have to do next year) and whole exterior had to be redone to get rid of the mice invasion (I'll tell you all about that in another post).
