The tree was throwing leaves at me!

I used a blower to blow all the leaves off my drive and walkways this afternoon. This weekend is when I'll be raking some of the leaves in the yard to pile onto my perennials for the winter. It was breezy here as well. Long as I had the blower going with the wind, I was fine but soon as I turned to blow against the wind, it was raining leaves. lol

Honest to pete, woman, pull yourself together...Now, make sure you bag those leaves and put them snuggly around our pod for the winter is coming and we need all the insulation we can get...LOL...We rake ours to the curb and the big truck with a huge vacuum comes by and sucks them all up...Pretty cool...

Oh, the same thing was happening to me, but I wasn't raking the leaves. Every time today when I walked my dog around the back of my apartment complex, the leaves made a beeline for my hair. My dog thought it was really fun and started chasing each one that fell from the tree tops. The trees in the back are really big and really tall, so it was like a rain shower of leaves! : )

LOL That's funny Katlady2. I've had that happen to me too when we lived in Arkansas. I'd be raking leaves and the tree would keep on dropping more on me or the wind would throw them in a different direction and I'd try to keep up but it was difficult. But one has to laugh for it's easier to do that than to get upset, right? lol

Hey--- I'm tired just hearing about it! I used to do the raking, and I'd wait until they'd all fallen. Hun doesn't like the mess, so he rakes every two or three days. I have guaranteed to him that those other leaves WILL fall... don't think he believes me!LOL! Go rest up... I'm doing the same...WHEW!!!

Hi Katlady, I had the same experience just a few days ago. I was raking up leaves in the yard, and I moved along at a fair pace, when I looked back there were lots of leaves where I had just finished raking. So then I raked those leaves up and it seemed like that tree was actually throwing the leaves at me. I started laughing and my husband came out to see what was going on. He started laughing as well. He told me the tree was telling me that it was not done dropping leaves and that I should stand there until it was done. Needless to say that tree is still not done. Almost though!! I'll have to try again tomorrow and see if I can complete my job... Happy posting..

My trees have run out of aMMO TO THROW AT ME. i TOOK ALL THEIR AMMO THROWING IT OUT IN HUGE PLASTIC BAGS. bUT...... Now the neighbors trees on both sides of me are starting to have their trees throw their ammo into my yard. Grrrr! HAHAHAHA! More raking to do. Should I bag the leaves leaving them in the neighbors yards as it's their trees? HAHAHA!! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Thank you Kat soooo much. I haven't laughed so hard or for so long! That darn tree throwing leaves at you...just you and nobody else...it's out to get you..haha..now that I would have paid money to see!!!
