The Leaf Collector Cometh

For those of us who live in heavily forested areas, there is a yearly ritual that we look forward to each Fall. Homeowners transfer their leaves from the yard to the curb for the city to come by per a planned schedule and vacuum them up. This year I had almost a month to create the curbside piles for the city. It's always good to watch when they get to your street. Takes me hours to accumulate them, takes them minutes to get rid of them. I still have an equal number of leaves to push to the curb for the second round. It is so much fun.

Darren helped me rake and blow the leaves in mid-November

We piled them onto a tarp and hauled them to the curb
 
Dumped them on the curb across the front of my yard




The leaf men cometh in early December

 
3 man crew- 1 raking, 1 vacuuming, 1 driving




Gone! Now I need to get the rest of the leaves up to the curb for round 2
