Autumn
Yes, I know, it's that time of year. It is actually my favorite time of year until I have to rake the leaves. I did that all day Sunday and will continue to do that until the snow flies. I'm old school in leaf raking. I grab a rake, push them to a pile and then take the trash can with a bag in it, and push it in the can. I can count on maybe 30 bags by the time I'm done. My wife on the other hand, insists that I use the "Leaf-a-nator 1000". It blows AND sucks. I gave in this year and used both of it's functions. Dang, if my wife wasn't right again. Oh sure my back still hurts from holding up the Leaf-a-nator 1000, but I reduced my amount of bags by 20! It mulches, it eats, it spits out leaves. It also is heavy, awkward, has to be emptied every 3 minutes. I would love to just cut down the trees and save me from this annual ritual, but I do love this time of year. That and the fact my next door neighbor to the West, loves his trees...( if you get my drift)
