tryin' to keep up....

leaves, leaves, and more leaves... even though we got jipped out of fall, the leaves have fallen and have been trying to take over my lawn....

did some rakin' with two friends yesterday which resulted in 7 big black bags of leaves and 5 more piles of leaves to get rid of.... so, despite the rain and the wet bags, i decided to take the leaves over to the county fairground for composting.... so into the car, i push 7 big black bags of leaves.... et voila.... i make it to the fairgrounds despite not being able to see a thing out of my back window....

i pull up to the fairground and start unloading the bags to put into the mulcher.... imagine, little asian girl with seven big bags spilling forth from the little jetta.... surrounded by middle age men in their big trucks and trailers, who probably raked up the leaves cuz their wives had been naggin'.... they had it all figured out to a "t" (what does that "t" really stand for??) - a whole system of unloading the trailers and bags into the mulcher...

ah sigh.... it hurts to say, but some things are more of a man's world.... though i do try to keep up.... :)
