Last Chance This Week To Rake Leaves / myLot

Canada

November 15, 2015 2:25pm CST

This week is my last chance to rake leaves and bag them in those brown paper huge bags for composting. After that the city will stop the pick up until next April. So I guess I better get busy this week if I don't want to miss the composting truck. Did some raking this afternoon, now relaxing on Mylot.

I do enjoy doing the raking but it is getting harder as I get older.

I liked the good old days when we burned the leaves or threw them in the compost pile - or both. The next door neighbors put out about 15 brown bags of leaves, it's amazing how many they have.

Usually in the Fall, we have about 30 brown bags of leave to put out.

I don't envy you at all. I have always hated raking leaves.

I have always loved to rake leaves, now it is harder as I am not a Spring chicken anymore.

@marlina I do know that raking is good exercise as you use so many muscles you don't even realize until the next day when you get up and try to move around.

Leaf raking is going on around here too. As I drive around town I see piles and piles of leaves getting ready to be bagged for pick-up

This the season for raking leaves. Soon, it will be shovelling snow.

We don't even worry about raking our leaves, we don't have many anyways. We just haven't had time to go out there and do it this year but oh well. Hope you get it finished in time so the truck can come pick it up for you

Here in Glasgow we have a Brown bin for garden waste and it used to be that the council would not pick it up at all over the Winter. Luckily they changed that a couple of years ago so it is now picked up just as regularly now... Hope you get all your leaves raked up on time. :)

I hope that I get all the leaves taken care of too. Do not want to shovel leaves with the snow.

The farmer combined the corn in the field behind us, so what we rake will be thrown back there. It will blow far away out into that field and eventually be turned over into the soil.
