When I haven't been working, or walking, or taking photographs, or shuttling 'A' to work, or being sick...yes, I had a terrible head cold all last week...I've been raking leaves. We have huge oak trees lining our street. Enormous. And they create an enormous mess of leaves later in the season than any other.
Although I have declared the job FINISHED for this season, I know that there will be many more to rake up come Spring. You see, several neighbors don't bother to rake and all it takes is a bit of wind and........
This season's bag count...and they are 39 gallon bags packed solidly...is 98. Pictured are just a small portion of the total that I raked and bagged yesterday and today, 29 I think. 'A' and my mom will load the bags into mom's car and take them to the dump to empty in the lawn debris pile.

I'm sure glad that it's done for another year! All pain killers, massages, and tickets to tropical vacation spots will be joyfully and gratefully accepted. Nice comments welcome as well, but do make note of the preceding list of acceptable congratulatory items.

Pffft...
Sounds like someone expects the Guinness Book people to be knocking on her door soon!
I understand the current record holder is a Japanese dude who filled 7534 bags with ginkgo leaves, each leaf artistically placed individually harvested. This after he made his bags out of hand-woven pine needle cloth sewed together with Chinese silk.
Guinness Book? Nah. I'd prefer something more exotic...Ripley's maybe? Hmmm, bagging's not odd enough. I'll settle for something from my list.
Somehow, I knew the conversation would turn to the rewards for your good deeds. Hard to choose from, I'd say...I think you need 'em ALL!
Oh, I don't look for rewards for good deeds... hard work, yes!
I'm seeing the possibilities for that tropical retreat even more clearly now.
Personally, I tend to ignore beggars!!! lol.
Ahh, but isn't this earnings?
C'mon dickiebo!
