We have these amazing trees in our front yard that are huge and shade our whole yard in the summer! In the fall they aren't so amazing. They make our lawn look like its covered in a golden blanket. It may look pretty, but its a pain to rake them all and bag them! That's why I hire two workers every year to clean them up! My nephews have come for the past three years... maybe two... and bagged them all up for me. I feel bad as I sit there and watch their mom do more of the work then they do, so this year I had them all raked into piles before they came. All they had to do was the hard part of bagging them all.
Before we raked them into piles. It does look pretty cool!
After we got them into piles. This is just some of the piles. The whole side yard and some of the back were covered too.
Katie, Sam, Ben, and Rylee.
The boys would put the leaves in, and Rylee would take them out. She was not too good of a helper!
Employee #1
Sam
Last year Sam was too little to help bag, so he was in charge of sweeping.
Employee #2
Ben
2 1/2 hours of work + 11 bags of leaves = $5!
Thanks Boys!
When they were almost done a wind came, and a ton of leaves started falling again. Its a never ending battle for about a month.
