Clean Sweep


When we were kids we had 3 huge oak trees in our yard and we would rake the leaves into large rings (nests) and play house. We each had our own bedrooms a kitchen where we would burn the leaves with magnifying glass and cook dinners.

Fall is one of my favorite season. The others are spring, summer, and winter.

I usually love the yard work. The leaves would fall over several days and it was easy raking and mowing staying ahead of it all.

This year the leaves seemed to dump in a matter of 2 days and covered everything.

Roof and yard were covered

I felt overwhelmed.

Thank God for Logan. He is always willing to help out and he actually enjoys going up on our roof to clean it off. 

I was very worried that this load of leaves would be slippery. He had no problem.

He had to use a rake and broom to get it all down. The leaf blower was not strong enough.

He hung around and helped with raking out around the house so I could mulch with the mower later.

Logan always wants to come over and help. He has never said no to us. ‘That’s what you do Grandma when you love someone.”

Mom would of been very proud of me, because he didn’t go home with empty pockets. 💸
