We think the playing with the tarp and the bitey face are the best parts of leaf removal. Most of the leaves on the trees in our front yard are still green:( Mom is getting worried they aren't going to fall down in time for Christmas lights.

We love how you make yard work fun! Hey, we have an idea - put a bunch of tarps down before the leaves start falling, leave them there til there are no more leaves on the trees, bundle up tarps and voila! No raking - no more leaves. BOL!
ReplyDeleteThe Road Dogs
Wow!Thank you for the great tips! We will keep those in mind this weekend

ReplyDeleteOur Katya's got a different set of instructions:
ReplyDelete(1) Hide under the porch til the work is all done.
(2) Repeat (1).
(And Great Speckled Chi, Wyatt doesn't need the dog wash -- he's got his awesome pond!)

OK. We'll admit it. It's been a while. But we haven't forgotten aboutcha. Not at all.
ReplyDeletePlease bear with us. OK?
OK. We're gonna admit. Straightaway. No bones about it. We're taking the easy peasy way out. We want to get around to EVERYONE on our blog roll to remind you about the Second Annual Worldwide Moment coming up on Sunday 14 Nov 10. Were you there last year? Do you remember? Or are you new to it this year? Wondering what that Countdown Clock is on blogs that you visit? Whatever. We want you and everyone you know to have a chance to participate in the Silent Minute, the Candle Lighting and the Shout Out! Come visit. We've got a new banner for you, HTML for an (accurate, now that the word UNTIL is in red) Countdown Clock and a link to figure out what time 11:00 PM GMT is in your neck of the woods.
So. You're getting this 'cause we've been friends in the blogging world and we want you to know.
Please forgive the "stock" comment, but we told Moma we've never done this before and we'll not do it again (at least until next year.)
Loads of wirey love and lots of encouragment to join in (and to pass the word)
Jake and Fergi (and OurMoma and OurCollegeGirl)
