raking fun

Elders and maple seeds "helicopters" seized the lawn this year. They fell late, after the massive winds, leaving the lawn brown with their being. They don't rake well because of their size. I used a blower and after 90 minutes, I felt I complete what I could, in the front. Yippee, what fun. Also, because of their size, the pile was very small next to the one-last-load of leaves I brought to the street on Sunday. Lawncare is tough, which is why there are so many lawncare services around. I didn't have to rake much this year, but boy this nightmare of maple seeds irked me. I'm glad I'm done with it.
