Pelcan On A Post

Last Monday night Donna and I raked up the front yard. We usually do it on Sunday or Monday because the city comes around and picks up the yard waste the same day as the trash, which in our case is Tuesday. Judging by the leaves left on the trees we still had at least a couple more rounds of raking to go before this season was over.

On last Wednesday a line of thunderstorms passed across the southeast, which we fortunately dodged on the drive down to Florida, but unfortunately it knocked a ton of leaves off the trees in the Aiken area. When we pulled into the driveway last night I felt lucky to be able to pick it out from the rest of the yard, there was a thick blanket of fallen leaves covering everything. So today Donna and I raked the leaves up in the front yard again. The only upside to this is that the storm knocked nearly every remaining leaf off the trees, so we may not have to do this again.

At least not in the front yard…
