Raking, blowing, picking up leaves is something I do not miss! I used to live in the woods, probably 100 mature HUGE oak and hickory trees in the yard, it was a nightly chore, to try to keep ahead of them. Now, the leaves I have just blow away, literally! I have never picked up a rake here. By the time the crops are out (they are on the edge of my property), the leaves start falling, winds blow, they end up in the next township. LOL Love it! Few that make it into the pond get caught by the skimmers usually.
Pond temp is down to 69 degrees, was at 72 on Sat. Cool 50's at night are slowly cooling them down. But, expecting 85 for a high today. Sunny and beautiful, low humidity. Yep, Addy, I love the 70's and 50's temps, too!
