650 gallons of leaves!

Fall is over but the leaves are not. Dominique and I raked the front yard on Saturday and Melanie joined us on Sunday to do the back.
Thanks to the thinking power of my brother, he came up with a great way of bagging the leaves. We got a huge 50 gallon trash can and filled them and then we used the big container to fill the smaller refuse bags. It made us go much quicker-it was still 3 hours but it looks nice out there.
Mostly we are just bagging the leaves we put into piles. The great thing is that there is mulch and green onions, grass and daffodils that grew in the warmth of decomposing leaves.
We even had our neighborhood friend Andre come and at least watch us pick up leaves.

Now comes the fun time of planning what to plan and where. Sowing seeds(hopes of a "green" lawn), and fence time!
