I have a huge blow job ahead of me.
Now that all the snow is melted (mostly) I see that apparantly we should have cleaned up the yard one more time before the snow fell. My yard is full of matted leaves and crap. I think a leaf blower might not even move any of it. Fun. Why can't leaves be reusable? Why do they have to fall all over my grass? Trees are idiots.

18. Lol! I'm just trying to fix a mental image of that.
The best I can do is beating ducks with a rake, but it's a pretty amusing picture.:rofl:

13. They're kinda' wet.
I know, I should just wait and let them dry out, but I'm impatient. My yard looks like crap, and I like it to be an "oasis" of sorts, especially after the long winter. I can't wait to start my gardens! :bounce:

24. You wouldn't enjoy blowing on the wet things. Why don't you uncover the

tender little shoots of spring flowering bulbs which should be sticking their little heads up. ;)

16. You may have to take care of it by hand



And of course that might make an even bigger mess.

23. TEASE!
actually, mulching mowers clean yards better than blowers and the mulched leaes protect grass seed from drenching & feed your lawm.
