What a great creation, Kabby, and a beautiful view.
We've had some warm weather recently, and since we have lots and lots of mature oaks, I was out removing leaves that overwintered in the gardens. Since bending and kneeling are not very comfortable, and sitting on the ground eventually requires getting up again, I've found sitting and using the grill tongs to be just the thing. I can pick them out of the azaleas or turn them with the lower tong parallel to the ground and scoot underneath a large clump of leaves, lifting out a large portion.
The aged tongs on the right work beautifully. When I forget where I left them, I can sort of make do with the others.
