We brought home another load of leaves (#13) on Wednesday afternoon despite the colder temperatures and Jollyson helped me spread them and at least one other load of leaves.
We were both exhausted after dealing with all of it.
I have no idea if the weather will allow Jollyson and I to work outside Thursday afternoon or not. I have to admit it wouldn' ( Read more... )

I got lucky and found another load of leaves to bring home after my morning exercise class. ( This is load # 12.)

And now I have to get my rump in gear and rush off to my afternoon ceramics class. This class hasn't turned out to be as much fun as I would have liked, but it's not the fault of the instructor. I prefer a large block of time to get in ( Read more... )

I got lucky. Someone from my water aerobics class asked me to follow them home after class today so they could give me a load of leaves. (That was load #10.)

I went home with it, got them spread, and then took a nice nap with some alieve. I woke up feeling a lot better so I went out and got another load of leaves and brought them home (load #11.)

The last day I brought home leaves was Wednesday and that was load #8.
The next time I had a chance to bring home any leaves was Saturday when I was given an entire truckload of pine needles and then stopped for a few more bags of oak leaves that could ride on top of them before I went home.                                         Saturday's load ( Read more... )

Today I was given an entire pickup truck load of pine needles mixed with a few oak and maple leaves by a gentleman who gave me pine needles last year. I will probably go back there at least once more this fall because he's got a huge oak tree in his next-door neighbor's yard that still has completely green leaves.

I spent practically all of Thursday in our library's technology room. It was fairly quiet and I had two large tables put together to work on which I needed as I spent several hours muddling about making a pattern from a really nice tee-shirt a friend got me at a garage sale.

I'm not sure how the manufacturer accidentally managed to create a tee- ( Read more... )

Tuesday I brought home load #7 of leaves and just before 1 pm today, I brought home load #8, got it unloaded and the rain came shortly thereafter!

Everyone has been so kind about sharing their leaves with me. Quite a few have even come out and helped me load them onto my truck. (Bless their hearts!)

I just can't spread leaves when it's this cold ( ( Read more... )

I brought a load of leaves home Sunday afternoon and then I brought a huge load of leaves home Monday afternoon. [Loads #5 and #6.]

The homeowner saw me taking his leaves and he cheerfully came over to help load. I wound up with the load of leaves nearly taller than the cab of my truck. This meant that I drove home at a reckless 30 mph or a bit ( Read more... )
