I got the best surprise today. I came home from work (working 2 days a week thru December), and found that all my leaves had been cleaned up and put out to the curb. (The city will vacuum them up from there.) Even out in the back was done. It was the guys from the lawn service, and I hadn't been expecting them, but I'll take it. I'll have to pay for it, but it'll be worth it. I had been watching the weather forecast to see when i'd have a dry enough day to rake them myself. What a great thing to have somebody give me 2 hours that I hadn't counted on.
