Fall Fun

Um, they didn't list the amount of yard work needed in the fall as part of the real estate listing for this place.  Apparently there is an advantage to not having a yard like all of our neighbors but we wouldn't know about that.  The amount of leaves in our side yard is insane and Matt has the callouses on his hands from the leaf blower to prove it.  To be fair, he's raked a time or two as well.  And the worst part of all this?  Our town is supposed to come by and pick up all the leaf piles pushed to the edge of the street and they haven't so our neighbor conveniently parks his lovely minivan in front of our yard instead of his own which already has leaf piles.  You better believe we'll get a jump start on raking next year so we can make sure to have the first piles and therefore less parking in front of our yard.  So there!  But the leaves are fun.  That is if you don't mind bugs and slugs!
