Raking the leaves in our yard is so annoying! the same way? Do U feel the same?

I used to be caretaker at the local village school and had to clear the leaves every single morning. I loved it, in the cold morning air. I had a suction machine, like a vacuum cleaner, and a big, yard brush. I used to sweep the leaves all up into a pile in the corner of the playground and then suck them up with the machine. The leaves would then be emptied into compost bags and taken to the compost bin at the bottom of the yard. The only thing that frustrated me was when the wind blew hard whilst I was sweeping, but it's one of those things. They'll be there again the next day. lol. We'll never stop nature, nor would we want to, my friend. Brightest Blessings.

Hello Bebs. There are a lot of trees in our school, but we have cleaners do this job. Also our students take part in the activity in sweeping the fallen leaves every day. I love to see the leaves when they are golden yellow on the trees.

I live in a big appartement complex and we have maintenance people clean all the leaves and trash.

I hate it too, We have a SUPER HUMONGOUS tree in our yard and it just DUMPS leaves on the ground...and you go through the whole day and your side and arms are sore, and the next morning theres NEW leaves...and then once our neighbor took his MOWER and started MOWING the leaves into our yard, he ran them over with the mower chopping them up and then they would blow out the mower into our yard, and he was very careful about not turning is mower, he pulled it back instead of turning it like most people do, I mean is that inconsiderate or WHAT?! throwing them in our yard is one thing but grinding them up besides?!

Yes, raking leaves which return quickly is rather annoying. Why don't you try a leave blower, makes the job a lot easier to just blow them into a pile then scoop it into the bag.

I like fall season, but in these season leave will surely fall.I like watching the falling leave and touch them, it's beautiful. I love rake them and clean them in the cool weather, not too hot and not too cold. It's a nice and happy activity for me.

[i]Hi Bebs, ohhh..I can imagine how tiring is that! we have no huge trees in our front yard only at the back but I am not raking all the leaves, it's not a lot yet! LOL! I do know if I can't stand when all those leaves will be already in the ground but this time, I can still tolerate! I don't like to go out since it's cold! LOL! I have seen some of my neighbors who are picking cleaning their front yard very often! LOL![/i]

Oh, I hate raking leaves, I just leave them there till their rotten..lol. We don't have very many trees in our yard so it doesn't get bad. I was doing alot of raking a few weeks ago, and I hurt myself, I woke up the next day and couldn't hardly move my arm, I guess I raked so much I pulled a muscle in my arm, and it still hurts today, I even had blisters on my thumbs..lol. I told my husband I wasn't ever raking or doing yardwork again...haha.

There are these things called teenagers, they like money, they might even work for it. Try and see if there are any teens that want to do some yard work, I'll bet they'll do a great job and it will give you some much needed rest.

My husband has a leaf blower with bag so that makes it easy. However, we also rake leaves because the kids like to jump into the piles. It can be quite annoying though when you rake a big pile of leaves and then the wind blows them all away. All that hard work for nothing.

That's funny because i actually enjoy it. It gives me a chance to go out to the yard and get out some frustration. Even though your right the leaves fall you pick them up and then two days later the rest of the leaves fall and you got to do it all over again. Welcome to home ownership. I really did like doing it though because it gave me a chance to go out and be by myself and just relax a little.

Heh. I understand. Here we rake the leaves too, and it is a lot like the trees just won't stop! At least they are colorful and pretty, not green. Other than that its chilly and then becomes unenjoyable. In the end it looks a lot better than some of the neighbors lawns and sidewalks. Unfortunately once we're done raking for a while, we'll be shoveling snow for the next few months, which can't really be ignored... :P
