No doubt about it, fall is here and with it, the leaves. They're everywhere except in the trees where they belong. This year I took advantage of the fall pick-up services. For $55, I got two leaf pickups. All I have to do is rake about a gazillion leaves to the curb and keep them from blowing away. It works great - I still have one pickup left but my leaves are almost gone!!! Thanks heavens. Last year was my second year of homeownership, and I didn't rake responsibly. Consequently, I had leaves gather into piles by themselves and just sit there, killing the grass. Then all summer I tried to plant more grass, but evidently it doesn't want to grow there anymore. I think the grass in my yard went on strike this year; I wish the leaves would go on strike instead.

It's funny because I think all of those leaves are now on the floor mat in my car. I've been showing all foreclosures lately and every time the buyers and I get in and out of the car we track in more leaves. I'll be happy when they are gone too.
