The leaves have almost turned completely this week. And then time for raking.

@CinnamonGirlE I bought myself a shredding lawn vac, it may be the best gift I’ve ever given myself, but I’ve yet to find that out. I certainly hope that’s the case.

@MidnightRider
That will be nice. Especially if you have big trees to deal with.

@CinnamonGirlE well we shall see. I purposely bought an electric one because I have the cordage to accommodate that and it will never run out of battery. It also has metal components to shred the leaves.

@MidnightRider
Sometimes they mow mine up as well. Not nearly as many trees to deal with as I used to have. But still plenty.

@CinnamonGirlE I’m retired from raking.

@MidnightRider
Good for you! I probably am not.

@CinnamonGirlE I prefer electric sourced leaf blowers @MidnightRider

@catlynne333 @MidnightRider
I prefer my sons do it, like when they were young. But they have their own lawns and lives now, lol.

@CinnamonGirlE Yeah i use to have to blow the neighbors willow tree leaves into a pile and pick up.. I moved @MidnightRider

@catlynne333 @MidnightRider
That's the thing with leaves. They don't stay in the yards of the trees they fall from. 😂

@CinnamonGirlE Living alone plays on my mind. If this device works well? I will be out there enjoying using it. I’m turning into Mr. monk with every passing month of my life. 😎

@MidnightRider
There are a lot worse people you could turn into. IMO. I always loved Monk 😉

@CinnamonGirlE if you’re working on a vehicle monk is the guy you want to summon. With few exceptions, both in this life is usually all good or bad.

@MidnightRider
He is also the same one you want for surgery. And other meticulous things. Paying attention to details and doing things right, is never wrong.

@CinnamonGirlE I agree with all of that. Sometimes it feels like our generation was raised with that paradigm, whereas others behind us do not follow that principle.

@MidnightRider
I don't necessarily think that's 100%; but I do believe it's way up there.
