CLEANED UP

SWMBO is happy.  Our neighbors are even happier.  A handyman came and cleaned up our front yard yesterday.

Behold the Before and After photos.













It looks better.  

For awhile.  

But unfortunately there are still leaves on the trees.  

Ready to fall.

For the price we paid, I'll be the handyman for them.

  1. Of course, you could have left them to carpet the ground with multicoloured beauty. They would have disappeared of their own accord......eventually.

  2. Every year, while cleaning the leaves, I say "next year we are going to hire someone" but then that's what I say the following year while cleaning up the leaves.
    Nice looking place you have there.

    1. Thanks, Judy. We were lucky to find it. (Except for those damned leaves!)

  4. Leaves are a pain in the A**, though they look nice on the trees.

  5. I had a neighbor so nuts he would catch them as they fell.

    1. SWMBO just told me I need a long stick with a nail on the end so I can pick them up one by one!

  9. Your place looks great either way! I understand your neighbors concern. When we lived in the woods we let nature takes its course. I still hung up on the idea of a "handy man." Grab that rake laddie and go work up an appetite and or thirst!

    1. I do not have to clean up the property to work up a thirst. That comes naturally!

  10. I don't know why but its enormously satisfying watching someone else sweep up your leaves. I did it for years but never again...hopefully.

    1. I totally agree, Stephen. I got spoiled when we lived in Phoenix and had a yard man.

  11. They sure know what to do... and are probably much faster than I was and still am...:-)
