Just finished putting up the last of the Halloween inflatables we’ve received from the inlaws, onto the front lawn. And by Tuesday they’ll need to come down in favour of Christmas stuff. I think I’ll start with the house lights first, and leave the lawn empty so that I can cut the grass one more time and get rid of the leaves one more time. Leaves, leaves, leaves oh my! Wednesday’s wind storm certainly brought a whole bunch more of them down. Kind of infuriating how slowly they come off the trees at this time of year. They fall off in large enough numbers you have to take care of them, but not so much that any one tree is ever totally bare. Ugh. I hate repeating projects over, and over again.
Maybe if the kids go out for a bit I can get outside to do it uninterrupted. Who knows? A man can dream, can’t he? Ha. Although, I will say this. Now that the kids are older their help is far more useful to me than it was in years previous. One, they are both tall enough to hold and handle a rake. Two, they are pretty keen on stuffing bags with leaves if you don’t mind the chaos that ensues. Three, they laugh a lot and make a tedious job more enjoyable than they used to. But I know my kids and loud noises (not produced by them) and they hate my mulcher, so best to go it alone.
On to the rest of my lazy Sunday morning.
