Must Get Smaller Yard.......

So this wasn't on our Saturday to do list....but our neighbor rented a power rake machine and offered to let us use it too...so we took advantage of the offer and power raked the yard today.....at the end E's exact words were - "We need a smaller yard"


If you click on the pictures to make them bigger you can take note of the 25 piles of dead grass we had in the front yard. We had an additional 18 piles in the backyard to pick up.




Not quite like jumping in a pile of leaves but A & E enjoyed the piles and there time outside none the less. We all feel a little wind burned this evening.


At this is what we have to show for at the end - 34 "FULL" lawn and leaf bags to dispose of.......that will be tomorrow's project. Unfortunately our garbage service will not haul this for us...so we have to load the bags in our mini-van and dump them at a yard waste sight in Rapid City. We are guessing it will be at least 2 full van trips into town - maybe 3.

I feel your pain - Allen helped me power-rake a year or two ago...not a fun experience. Fortunately we had Allen's truck bed and a yard waste site only a block away.
