I love to rake leaves
when I say this, my kids say yeah right mom, good one
but I do
outside in nature
beautiful colors
hearing the crispy crunch as you walk through them
feeling the autumn sun and cool breeze
instead of the sound of the leaf blower
and the smell of gasoline
and the numbness in your hands from holding it
just rake some leaves
it is therapeutic
if you sit inside all week at a desk
even though your office view is a good one
you need to get out and do something
like rake leaves
like clean out a spot for the turkey fryer
so the old man won't set the woods on fire
again
even rake the driveway
because those leaves are covering up the gravel
and you will need that soon
for traction in the snow and ice
just get out and rake some leaves
and then more leaves will fall
and it will rain and they will get all wet and heavy
and then someone else can handle it...
with a big gasoline leaf blower
I love to rake leaves
when they are dry and light and crunchy :)
