As you probably know, the house that I’m living in is surrounded by about 60 acres of protected woodland. This means that we have fairly significant peace and quiet out here. The house hadn’t been lived in or taken care of for a couple of years when we moved in and the yard is a HUGE mess! I was considering going outside today and working on some of the leaves, but as I walked around the yard after taking the trash out, I became totally overwhelmed!
Although living in the woods like we do has many good points, I’m really trying to figure out how in the world we’re going to clean up ALL these leaves! I mean, there is honestly not a single part of the lawn (which is about 3/4 of an acre on a 2.5 acre lot) that isn’t covered in at least a couple of inches of leaves, and some areas have leaves that are several inches deep. My first thought was to either rake or blow them out into the woods, but the reality is that if I were to do that, I’d probably end up with a 2 foot high wall of leaves surrounding the yard…LOL!
I’m sure that my husband has some better thoughts or ideas than I do about what to do with all these leaves, so I think I’m just going to let him deal with it…LOL! I know that I can rent a commercial walk behind blower from my boss for next to nothing, so that might be a pretty good idea too! I’ve been trying to convince the dogs that we need to take a family nap, but they’re not being very cooperative with me….LOL!
So, I guess I might as well get back to that mountain of laundry I was talking about earlier!
