So, here I am back on the boat to ride it out. Should be fun.

We're getting some strong winds right now. I got the leaves off the yard
earlier. Now it looks like it's not been touched. I hate leaves.

I wait until the second week of November, then do the lawn.

Gets all the little bas...er...leaves that way.

I've got 11 large oaks to contend with. If I don't hit the leaves every
third or fourth day, I'd never be able to wade through them. I'm talking
some serious leaves here!

I'm hitting the job with the leaf blower today.... 21 MPH gusts
yesterday did a number on the leaves and if I don't get a head-start
it is just too much of a PITA to wait... especially since we had very
poor fall color this year and the leaves are all turning brown and
falling at the same time...

First I have to get the damn acorns up. Right now they're blanketing the
back yard. Know any good way to do that?

So far I've been able to get the leaves up with the mower, but soon they'll
be too thick for that.
