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.

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.

[John81]

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.

We never have raked leaves. We always lived in an apartment or mobile home, with no trees in the yard.

[JerryNumbers]

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.

[John81]

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.

Okay, I already knew that much. What else do you do? :Green

[kevinmiller]

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
