Leaf Raking! Leaves, leaves, and more leaves.

Well, we moved to the east coast partly because we missed all the trees...well we love the trees but hate the raking!  The town of Cary lets you rake the leaves to the curb then they come by and pick them up.  We have about 12 deciduous trees in our front and back yard, and we worked all day one Sunday raking our leaves to the front, look at all the leaves on the curb from one end of our lawn to the other:

By the following weekend the lawn was covered again in leaves.  Blah.  So we took our lawn mower and mowed them, all into mulch.

All this raking is the price to pay for enjoying foliage in the fall!
