Raking, raking, and yes, more raking.


Leaves seem to gather like mad in our yard every fall. Even after losing 2 large trees in the past year, we still have a multitude of them. We spent the better part of today raking and hauling leaves to the compost place in New Brighton. We ran out of time and must continue on later this week. We also decided to quit using leaf bags and just load up the trailer, throw a tarp on top and haul it away.


Here is our backyard leaf pile. We had a bout 3/4 this amount in the front yard. The pile is about 6-7 feet deep. Fun stuff!
