Rain and a bit of cold is coming.
Got up on the roof today and cleared off most of the leaves. Of course, there are more up there even as I climbed off the ladder. But the gutters are cleared and ready for the rain that is predicted this week. That was my motivation as I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned leaves 5 hours a day for 3 days. Blowing leaves this time of year is a big job as it is. But wet leaves? UGH! I know after the rains there will be even more leaves for me to take care of especially since it will be followed by a cool-down. But the obsession to start out with a clean (almost) leaf-free yard before any rain is a bad habit of mine. I won't complain about how sore I am!
