Bag 'em UP
I have a grandson who just loves to help do yard work, clean the house, he is only 6 years old and I am sure we never dropped him on his head. He never asks for payment for his help although I always give him money and hold it for him till garage sale day and he can buy things he likes. I had blown my leaves into several piles yesterday, plus the huge pile that had come to a halt at the garage door. Today H took the snow shovel (a light weight one) to scoop the leaves up with and I sat holding the bags as he dumped them in. I sincerely think there were several times when he intentionally missed the sack and my lap and shoes were filled with leaves. I was able to refrain from dumping the whole bag on his head since it would have had to be sacked back up. He did find several worms (he is quite the fisherman) which put a screeching halt to our sacking while he picked them up and relocated them to a safer spot. We filled 5 of those tall paper sacks. I absolutely love those tall 30 gallon double bags. Sticks don't tear a hole in them and they hold all kinds of trash and stuff that I want to throw away. When we finally finished his mom came by and she finished raking leaves in the front yard into piles and let H run the lawn mower over them. This makes the third session we have had in the front yard with the piles of leaves. I checked today and it looks like the majority of leaves have finally landed and have been mulched or sacked up. I should be ok till the wind blows from the South and my renter's (next door) leaves blow over into my yard.
