I must admit that I thoroughly enjoy leaf clean up, but there is definitely a science to the task!  The day should be dry and most importantly, without wind!  Today was the day!  Goggles (check!), ear plugs (check!), rake (check!), leaf blower (check!), leaves….oh heavens yes!!  I am convinced that my neighbors are secretly bringing truck loads of leaves into my yard in the wee hours of the morning because, surprisingly, they have zero leaves on their driveway and I am ankle deep!  What’s up with that??!  I think my yard is a leaf magnet!
