...the work we got done!

We worked in the yard yesterday afternoon and well past sundown. As a matter of fact, the last hour and a half of leaf pick-up and mowing were done in the dark-- thank goodness John Deere had the sense to put working headlights on their lawn mowers! By 7:30, every leaf had been raked onto sheets, piled onto a trailer, hauled down the road and dumped into the burn pile. The grass had been trimmed to a neat 2.5 inches and we treated ourselves to New Garden! Upon waking this morning, we all groaned a bit as we noticed the scene that had "fallen" during the night. The rain and wind took a toll on the leaves that had been hanging onto those branches for dear life. Tyler even said, "Well, we finished in the dark-- maybe we really didn't get done what we thought we had!" Oh well... I can say I'm thankful we got done what we did when we did. It'll make next weekend's raking, mowing, and hauling less work, right?!
