FALLING LEAVES SAGA

 Well the rain has done a number on our beautiful tree in our front yard.

Wet and very soggy blanket of leaves over our driveway and lawn.

Dave and I got enough energy to try to rake the leaves up for garbage pickup tomorrow.

The leaves were so wet that we couldn't blow them with our blower.

We had just about used up all of our energy and said we would have to finish the job Monday.

We looked up and our neighbor from up the street (who we haven't visited with but a few times) came with his high powered leaf blower and said " here let me help you and make a quick job of these soggy leaves!"

Another jaw dropping moment in the life of our wonderful neighborhood.

Lickety split the leaves were in a pile... off the lawn and driveway and I got them dumped into the green waste can...

Chuck is a Life Saver and a True Blessing to us.

And so on to Today ...  Monday ...

Here we go again

The yard and driveway look just like it did before.

Now we have rain for the rest of the day

So

No more clean up for a while.  ๐Ÿ˜‘๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜œ

Monday at noon





So

Life goes on and the leaves have given me more "Fodder" for another blog post.

# 25 in the Days of Thanksgiving

        Thankful for the rain and the gorgeous leaves

         Thankful for neighbors who care for us

          I see some Christmas cookies and banana bread in the future for the    

          neighborhood

Always be Grateful

Always be Kind

How wonderful! He really knows how to be a good neighbor. The leaves are still really pretty, and they say they are good for the ground.

wow i love all those leaves. I've been seeing such beautiful colors and seeing your leaves makes me want whatever in the heck kind of tree that is..love it. In my yard i only have black oak tree leaves that turn yellow and my lilac tree that drops the prettier light lime green heart shaped leaves all over the place. You have such nice neighbors but glad you both had the energy to get a lot done after being sick.

Tis the season of raking, and raking some more! They’re beautiful. What a nice guy your neighbor is!
At least it’s not snow! ๐Ÿคจ
