Leaves

I did a lot of yard work today. I cleaned out my gutters, raked and mulched leaves, added them to the compost pile, mowed the lawn and then swept.

Raking leaves is kind of dumb. More will fall or be blown into my yard, and I don't want to do this chore again this season. Really the only reason I did it was because, as the slacker on the block, mine was the only yard that wasn't raked. So my unkempt yard had become the source of infection for others.

But now I have a giant compost pile, so I guess it was worth the effort.
