the end...

... of leaf raking for this fall. I just completed the raking of the back yard, added seven more bags to my total.

Today's leaf bag count: 7
Total leaf bag count: 64

I thought at the beginning of the leaf raking season that it would take 55 bags; I clearly underestimated.

And this is the reason why your weight is maintained. All you seem to do is rake or shovel. What great exercise though possibly a little irritating.

Apparently, there is no shortage of leaves this year.

Leaf soup, anyone?

deb: I have a cookie eating habit that I have just started to stop. This cookie eating habit pushed my weight up, now I have to bring it down again, leaf raking and snow shovelling is insufficient.

handmaiden: With the number of mature maple trees on my property, there will never be a shortage.

ghost: my town has what is called an organic materials collection where every Tuesday through the fall that take whatever organic material (in my case, leaves) and bring them to a large municipal composting center. Next spring I plan on going to that composting center to retrieve my composted leaves to add them to my garden.
