Everyone is so busy lately it seems we can't always get to this site or other ones to say hello! What keeps you the busiest this time of year? In the USA, the weather change is a challenge for many, so yardwork and clearing snow might take away from your time online. We are in a woodsy area and there is always something that must be taken care of it seems. Some think the leaves falling are beautiful. They must be the people not having to clean up the mess. Others enjoy the snow. They must not be the people who have to shovel their way out of the cold and wet mess. Hope everyone is having a good day!

Hello There. We don't actually clean up our leaves here. We used to years ago, but now we just let them lay there. We have a lot of trees here too, several in the front yard and a few that falls on the back bank.

We clean up a ton of the leaves. It is a nuisance to me. Fortunately some children think it's fun.

@PatZAnthony It would be a ton of leaves if we did. We used to do it years ago and put them in pumpkin bags.

Snow is something I have no appreciation for, except it is lovely in a photo or movie. I don't care for it on the sidewalks or in my shoes!

We have all the seasons in NC and admit anything involving snow is not appreciated. Time to move somewhere that does not have a full winter.

Hello @Hannihar I'm still trying to catch up on my notices. The time just goes to fast. Now our weather is warmer and hopefully we won't see snow again.

I love the sound of the rain. The birds keep me busy but in a good way. Feeding them. Love this photo. Good to see you!

Feeding the birds here is great fun. They help us appreciate nature.

We have leaves here but the mower takes care of them. Raking a couple of acres is not happening!

@PatZAnthony Let them have a play day then get the mower out! Win-Win!

Yes, raking is no fun, so the mower takes care of most of what we have too. Young wants want to rake and enjoy jumping into the piles to make a mess.

Living without snow would be fine with me @cherigucchi Some love the way snow looks, but the slipping and sliding that comes with the snow is not fun.

I want to mow my yard but it will not quit raining for me to do that.

We mow as many of the leaves as we can. The rain can really stop us at times.

No snow for the moment, only cold. I am the one who shovels and I dislike snow.

Shoveling is not my job, but I still don't like the snow. Oh, it looks pretty, but other than that, we can do without it.

@PatZAnthony The winter passed without snow, that is pretty weird and not something good.

I'm with you on the clearing leaves bit. They are a total nuisance, I've lost count of the times I've cleared them up, and they still keep on coming down.

It sees someone always brings some in on their shoes @jaboUK although we don't go anymore than about a foot before we take our shoes off. They are just everywhere here all year because of the trees we have.

I am glad I donĀ“t have to deal with the leaves. It is so cold here and I hope only on Christmas day comes the snow.

Many people say they like to see snow on Christmas. Snow is just a mess to me, between the travel problems and the mud after it melts @thelme55

We are quite buried in the snow here, I hope it is gone soon. My leaves are underneath.

If we don't get the leaves up, the grass will die here in most sections. For me, I wouldn't care. Others think having a green lawn is a great thing. Florida sand works just as well for me.

It is so hot outside here sometimes the only thing to do is stay inside where it is cooler, and myLot.
