I went out for a walk with Katherine this afternoon. We wandered around the yard for a while, and while I enjoyed the experience, I was shuddering at how many leaves that needed sweeping.
Then when we were back inside, I heard this roar … and here came our lawn mower people, doing what will probably be the final mow of the season. But they did suck up a bunch of leaves as they passed through.
There are plenty to replace them still on the trees, of course. But every bit helps.
