Blew leaves out of the entire front and side yard yesterday

using the electric blower I bought around 1996. There is a bit of duct tape on it, but it works fine. The maple out front blew its leaves this week, and with a big rain coming, needed to get them to the street before they got heavy and wet. Took about half an hour. Did it at the same time as my next door neighbor. Blended in well with the noise of the house being rebuilt across the street. I'm such a considerate neighbor.

Nah, no backstory, I'm not that creative. I guess I could be, but too damn

HokieJay • 11/09/23 10:40 AM ET
No, it's nothing special. It's just a really bad case of leaf OCD**
