Overwhelmed

This is the 2nd autumn we have lived in our home on Oswego Place.
It is overwhelming to clear our yard of the leaves that fall from our almost 100 trees.
A few Saturdays ago Lacey recruited the YSA guys to come help the family blow leaves.
It is so much easier and a goes a whole heck faster than when it's just me!!

Thank you guys!!

Me on my 'little green tractor'...I LOVE this thing!!!

Dayton let me test the back pack blower out...
I'm SOLD!!

Beware!!  I am going to blow you down!!




Update:  This Thursday the yard needed to be blown again and of course the lot fell on me.  There was a big storm coming on Friday and the weather was to turn bitter cold. So I was bound and determined to get the yard blown off.  We owned a hand held eletrical blower and by the time I had blown the back yard it had died!  I called LaVor and he met me over at Home Depot during his lunch. We purchased a back pack blower and I was able to finish the rest of the yard by dark! 
Hopefully this is the last leaf blowing session of the year...
I can only hope  :)

  1. Backpack blowers are the way to go!!! Dad has some for his lawn business and they are awesome! So much faster than raking! Now you need a Billy goat machine to pick up the leaves if you have to bag them for the city... :)
