Raking Leaves

When I bought my house, back when life was simple - and I was young - I thought I would rake my own leaves. I did this once...and promptly hired a "guy" to do it thenceforth.

We have like dozens of oak trees looming over the back lawn, and in the fall, I found I was knee deep in huge piles of raked leaves. Then I had to put them someplace.

You can see how this got old really quick.

Solution? Hire a "guy." End of discussion. Heck, he even cleans gutters. This curmudgeon calls that a win-win.
