Leaves

Leaves, are at the moment the bane of my existence. I have an entire yard full of the brown and crinkly suckers. Now, we have lived here for 30 years and the trees are gorgeous in full bloom but whoever planted these gumball bearing vermin was not right in the head. In our younger days, we spent every weekend of October and November cleaning up the yard but we wised up. The leaves will continue to fall whether we clean or not. Sounds like a good motto about life, but I digress. So here I sit with an entire yard full of leaves telling myself that i have the strength and energy to do the work myself, but that is very unlikely at this stage of the game. Work has me exhausted and darn it I am getting old. I hate to admit that fact. Paying someone to do it is an option but it makes me feel very lazy. I've never done that before and will just have to convince myself that any time saved is a blessing at this point. Wish me luck.
