| Rob and Tom on leaf clean up duty |
Over the weekend of Nov. 2-3, there were a lot of leaves on the lawn and we decided to beproductive. There were a couple of interesting side notes, though. Tom decided we needed a fire pit and he used his new leaf mulcher.

Temperatures on Sunday, Nov. 3 were only in the mid-50s, so it was sweatshirt weather and a good day to rake leaves. Raking leaves is not only good exercise, but a leaf-free lawn is much easier to find our 4 dogs' "presents" and avoid stepping on them. :) Eww.

| End result of leaf mulching |
Earlier in the day, we bought a fire pit at Lowes. Tom has wanted one since he experienced sitting out side around one a couple of weekends ago (I wasn't there). So, he put the metallic, square fire pit together while I raked the leaves. 7 piles of leaves later in the backyard alone, we tackled the front yard together.

TOM'S NEW TOY- Tom bought leaf mulcher, and it consolidates the leaves of 11 piles into just 4 bags. It's a suction machine that takes leaves into a large tube, through a blade, and pushes them through what looks like a 5" in diameter dryer-like flexible plastic pipe... and into a leaf bag (placed inside a trash can).
It was a productive and tiring day!
