I'm not ready. In fact, it's going to be 83 degrees today, and I'm taking the afternoon off to go out on the lake. When we come back in this evening, I'll have to tie back up in a different slip so the entire dock we're on can be replaced in November.



I'm not ready either. But...the leaves have started their merry trip to earth, and I've not even
gotten a good start on the bumper crop of acorns we had this year.
Don't ever buy a house with twelve big oak trees thereon.

Too late... we have nothing but 90 foot tall oaks. Huge acorns. But our leaves are just now starting to get some color. Squirrels are going "nuts" right now. I bought one of these a couple years ago... worth every penny.

I bought one of these 13 years ago and I haven't had to do anything with
leaves but run over them with it.

When my leaves are at full-tilt, I'd have to use that every other day, and the bag would have to be emptied 20 times. My riding mower, with the two huge bags, is useless after 4-5 days.

Fortunately, I have a huge natural area in the back that I can blow the leaves into.

I don't use the bagger. I just run over the leaves and they disappear.

My neighbors get ****ed when I throw our dog poop over the fence into

leaves into their yard.

I have had to pay to have a few of them cut down over the past couple of
years. One was an 80 foot tall blue spruce that fell over in a wind
storm. $1000 to have it removed and the fence repaired. Then there was
the 80 foot tall Norway maple that needed to be cut down, $1500, because
it had a Y that was splitting to the ground. There were two wires
holding it together about 40 feet up.

This doesn't count all of the work done on the other trees over the last
13 years.

poop while on their walk. The problem is that my wife brings the poop
home and tosses it into our trash can. It is not pleasant around the
trash can in the summer time.

Good for her being a responsible dog owner.
I have a dedicated trash can lined with a large garbage bags for that purpose.
It would be a perfect spot to dispose of any unwelcome vermin that might come onto my property uninvited.

littered with trash cans and other debris. What a disgusting pig sty.
Your property must be a *vermin magnet*.

Do you have some kind of blight where you are? I've lost 3 blue spruced
in the past year, and looking around the area, I see quite a few sickly
blue spruces. I haven't heard of any blights, but the blue spruces don't
look healthy.

I've also got a 1/2 acre of Norway spruces that seem to be thinning out.
I don't think that is a blight though, more likely old age.

I lost a blue spruce to spider mites this past spring. Little *******s can clean one off in couple
days.
