Side Trips<br />
Power tools in a variety of sizes seem to<br />
have made light work of raking leaves.<br />
Getting the yard cleaned up was on our<br />
radar last weekend. I figured Saturday morning<br />
would be a great<br />
time <strong>for</strong> us to all pitch in<br />
and hopefully be done<br />
by noon.<br />
When I got home<br />
from work Friday night<br />
I <strong>dis</strong>covered that our<br />
son had gotten the leaf<br />
blower out when he got<br />
home from school. In<br />
just over two hours he<br />
had nearly the entire<br />
lawn and all of the rock<br />
landscaping beds blown<br />

WAGNER<br />
clean and a huge pile of leaves waiting by the<br />
street.<br />
While I was delighted by the task being<br />
nearly completed, I wasn’t quite sure how we<br />
were going to get rid of the leaves be<strong>for</strong>e the<br />
wind picked up and <strong>dis</strong>persed them all over<br />
the neighborhood. Fortunately, I remembered<br />
seeing an ad <strong>for</strong> a lawn service that operates a<br />
big leaf vacuum in the fall.<br />
One phone call was all it took, and in less<br />
than an hour three guys and a trailer-size leaf<br />
vacuum had pulled up in front of our house<br />
and made quick work of the daunting pile.<br />
In visiting with the guys, my husband<br />
learned they had been vacuuming leaves all afternoon<br />
and still not had to empty their trailer.<br />
Whatever kind of mulching device is in that<br />
machine does an amazing job.<br />
Sure, a few more leaves have fallen from<br />
our birch tree, or blown in from the neighborhood,<br />
but the bulk of the work is done.<br />
Granted, I didn’t get much exercise out of<br />
the cleanup project, but I also didn’t get any<br />
blisters, and I’m good with that.<br />
