An Easy Win

OK so all of this finally decided to fall this week. Yeah, in Texas this happens in the middle of winter sometimes. And instead of wasting 10-12 bags, we mulched it all up with the lawn mower. I raked. She mowed. No bags. 2 hours of work. Thankfully, my wife listened to me this year.

Lots of dust and remnants, but our yard looks 99% better, and the rest of the work will be a piece of cake. Yesterday, you couldn't see one blade of grass.

Nevermind the POS car in the driveway..

Leaves

OK so believe it or not, this is our second raking of the season! The first time, probably about 4-5 weeks ago, we ended up with 8 large garbage bags full (non mulched). I expect this might be another 12 bags. Damn oak tree! And yes, the tree is finally empty.

These two pictures were taken today. You'd never have any idea that I raked leaves for an hour and, along with a little help from both my wife and mom, filled 6 huge bags with leaves. (Click to enlarge..)


Isn't this supposed to take place during "autumn"??


The worst part about it? The tree's not done!
