So... ah... there was a tornado Election Day morning from a cell that had no lightning.
Was racing to rake and bag before the forecast rain "after 3:00". And precisely at 3:00 it started to rain a little. Finished most of what I wanted to get done. Waste guys came just before 3:00 and picked up the million bags I had on the curb. Pretty good timing all around!
The one downfall of Marion finally moving to the rolling collection containers is they will no longer pickup yard waste bags at the curb, you have to take them yourself to the drop point. The yardy is not big enough to fit everything.
The wife "mulched" the leaves before the game Saturday. I had to help the kid with a college class. So lawn is medium height with tiny pieces of leaves. If the wind would have hit much more before the rain, one of the jerky neighbors may have been raking our leaves.
I mulched and bagged my yard. Leaf blow and mulch three neighbor's yards yesterday. Had over 23,000 steps in and was wiped out. BTW- I still hate sycamore leaves.
My house is surrounded by several large old growth maple trees. - Beautiful to look at during fall, but crazy on the amount and size of leafs. I just mulch right over them with the mower deck. (Mulch kit installed)
Temps for the K State game are highs of 35, lows in the teens. Sure hope it is a day game !
Snow is not something to celebrate.
First snow of the season is pretty while sitting by a fire looking out a window holding a cup of hot chocolate. By the second day, the novelty wears off.
