Leaves Be Gone!

By Steve Benton ( Contact )   October 28, 2010

My fall yard clean-up intentions were honorable... really. I did my part in the "green" movement, buying biodegradable bags and was ready to fill them up with the annual litter from the deciduous trees in my yard. But then something unexpected happened... all the leaves blew away. In addition... no leaves from my neighbors blew into my yard. So while the recent windy conditions may have cause problems for some, it eliminated one of my yearly problems, a back ache from raking and bagging leaves. Ahhh... sometimes things just work out.

I think your leaves somehow ended up in my yard! But word on the street is that Becky Weber-Johnson really likes to rake...
