Leaves, leaves and more leaves

Yesterday I raked and hauled 12 big garbage cans full of leaves to the side of the road. The loose leaf collection truck otherwise known as the sucker truck to my children was to make an appearance today. I was VERY surprised that it was actually on schedule. This morning when we heard the truck on our street I went out to rake the last big pile of leaves into our driveway. I was determined to get as many leaves to the road as I could so I wouldn't have to bag them. My hips and shoulders are a bit sore but I did it and I have a beautiful leaf-free front yard. We're not going to even talk about the backyard, ha ha.
