Members John81 Posted November 11, 2008 Members Share Posted November 11, 2008 We had our yard all raked. Our trees were bare and we should have been finished raking for the year. Then we had a few days of high winds and the leaves from two of my neighbors yards that hadn't bothered to rake their leaves blew right into my yard. We spent two hours raking those up this afternoon. Now, unless the wind blows more leaves from other peoples yards into ours, we are finished raking for the year.

Members JerryNumbers Posted November 11, 2008 Members Share Posted November 11, 2008 Its much easier to just let the leaves lay there, them let the wind blow the to someone else's yard. But I live out in the country so that is not a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted November 11, 2008 Members Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'm on the edge of a small town and if we don't rake the leaves they end up filling the ditches and clogging them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ashlee Posted November 11, 2008 Members Share Posted November 11, 2008 We never have raked leaves. We always lived in an apartment or mobile home, with no trees in the yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JerryNumbers Posted November 11, 2008 Members Share Posted November 11, 2008 Wow, we have 2 pecan trees in our front yard, soon all of its leaves will let go and the ground will be knee deep. I don't sweep them either, I use a blower, much easier than a yard broom. A grass catcher on the lawn mower works even better than a blower.

Members John81 Posted November 12, 2008 Members Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hopefully when I get older and the boys have moved out I'll have better means of taking care of the leaves. For now it's good work lessons for the boys and gives us some excercise too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kevinmiller Posted November 13, 2008 Members Share Posted November 13, 2008 I usually sleep until about 10 in the morning. I get up and do all of my morning stuff(shower, etc.) and I usually meet a friend for lunch. She is a Korean friend who also teaches English at a school here in Osan. I have to go to work around 2 and teach from 3 or 4 until 10. I come home, eat some snacks, fruit, or whatever else is lying around while I watch tv or play on my computer until about 1. On Saturdays, I usually hang out with friends doing something(two weeks ago, 6 of us went to a water park together). On Sunday, I catch the bus to church, play soccer, talk and hang out with friends the rest of the day. Every Sunday is different. Sometimes we'll stay at my friends house and talk and eat, other times we'll come back to Osan and go to a sauna, ice cream, karaoke, etc. For more about what I actually do, I update my blog pretty regularly. I just updated it yesterday. :smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
