Raking leaves

Gettin pretty burned out raking leaves.
Got up this morning with plan to rake a ton yet again
Lo and behold, a very strong constant 25 mph NW wind has stripped my lawn and deposited my leaves down the block.
5 minutes work
What better to do than watch football and have a few beers?

You got that right cause the job just don't pay enough. I use bagger and self propelled, walk behind mower on this 2 acre tree-filled lot having enough lawn around drive, in rear yard, and another strip 600'x20'. Thinking of processing the abundant mosquito population for shipment to my Chinese brethren in Asia. Qu zuo jiu duile!(English translation: Just do it!)

My grandfather never raked a leaf or hired anyone to do it for him. All of his neighbors would clean there lawns meticulously. Gramps lawn stood out like a sore thumb. I would offer to help him but he would refuse. Yet every spring his lawn would be leaf free. One spring I asked him who raked your leaves Gramp??.....To which he answered “ No one The Lord put them there and The Lord takes them away!!
