I spent several hours on Sunday raking leaves. I filled up 15 bags, lined up nicely along the sidewalk for the city to pick up.

By Tuesday, my entire lawn and backyard were covered in leaves again.

‘Tis the season.

What I do mind is not being able to enjoy the fruits of my labor for more than a day or two. Seeing the lawn covered again is so deflating. But I’ll be out there again, and again, until the last leaf falls and the last bag is filled. Then I’ll sit and relax for a while,

until the first snowfall.
