So with the first signs of "true SPring" (it's Texas people - we have our own seasons) my hubby and I thought that it would be good to get all of the leaves in the yard raked up and a few flowers planted (note - we hadn't done this in the 3 years that we have lived here). Well after doing 20 bags on our own - we decided to call it a day. Darren contracted (or hoodwinked if you asked me) his part-time employee/friend Adam to come a rake the rest on Wednesday. After a few hours Adam informed Darren that he had run out of bags (82 - 30 gallon trash bags folks) I came home to find a HUGE pile of bags in my driveway. So okay -we got the place cleaned up but what the frick are we going to do will all the bags I ask? Yesterday Darren calls me to say that Adam found a lady that wanted them - ALL of them. She, her husband and a friend came by today with a trailer - and much to my amazement loaded and took the whole thing. Needless to say - we won't be letting the leaves go by the wayside and literally get snowed under again.
No snow--this is the kind of "drifts" and "banks" I have to deal with.
