Glad you like 'em.

I'm probably up to 60 hours total now. Spent 4.5 hours 2 days ago. Still have about 10% left on two trees with snow coming on Sunday. Oh well,...

We have no trees in our small back yard. Had to have them removed when we had septic system re-done. We have the shrubs for privacy and the yard is quite nice. So, not too many leaves for Rick to battle. What we do get is mostly blown over to the front yard from the park across the street.

I thought I posted this before, but I didn't see it. Apologies if it's a re-post. These are some pretty leaves. A ginko tree. I'm glad I got the shot when I did. The tree is naked now. Not sure if they had to be raked up.

on a different note, the better half learned to love the leaf blower today.
She can't start it but she did a great job using it.

i don't know where she gets her energy.
I must just be good at charging her battery
