Happy November!

Hey everyone! Here's a little ode to a big chore in my corner of the world! I need to hire this pooch:@)
Notice all the pretty leaves,
Obligingly roll up my sleeves.
Very carefully rake the yard,
Every leaf, the work is hard.
Maybe soon I'll get a blower,
But today I'll use my mower.
Every year it is the same,
Raking Queen, that is my name!
Have a happy day:@)

    Don't miss having to rake, just the few that wander in my tiny backyard. That dog is the cutest. xo

    Down here in my piney stick forest, we have more of a mix of leaves and pine straw. Blechy... and you can't even make leaf stew out of it if you're ten years old.

    Love the picture - love the poem. (I know it's an acrostic, but I was going for alliteration.)

    Raking the leaves is at the bottom of my list as I settle into the little blue house...

    L ove all your poems 'cause you're really smart
    Y ours always seem to come straight from the heart
    N o other one should be brave enough to start
    N ot when Ms. LYNN is showing her art.

    I should have followed my advice. Just wanted to see if I had improved since English class in school---obviously not.
    I will never do this to you again. I am so ashamed.----------
    Someone you know and probably wish you didn't.

    Believe it or not, I miss our big trees and all those leaves. We have young trees and little mess. You do need that cute pooch and a bunch of neighbor kids who like all the yummy treats you make. Put up a sign that says pick up leaves for treats with a time and I bet you'd get some takers!!!!

    We try to mow and mulch the leaves as much as possible. You know... restrictions on yard waste.

    Hi Lynn,
    the poem is so nice and the doggy is cute, too. May be you should train Earl to catch the leaves.
    Best greetings, Johanna

    Cute! I'm lucky, my husband really enjoys all things yard and car. So, I never have to do that job. I just get to go out and play in the leaves!
