Raking leaves... Who the fuck still rakes leaves? Why not use a lawn mower? Seems like a lawn mower would be a way easier method of removing leaves from your yard. |
Oh God, you're tickling my ptsd.
My grandma has an old farmhouse with a big garden and she is OBSESSED with raking leaves. And not just on the lawn. Nooooooo. No, no, no, no, no, noooooooo.
Leaves have to be raked everywhere daily, from the pebble covered drive, over the vegetable patches and flower beds (wich the whole property is covered in), the large chicken and goose enclosures to the freaking patch of forest she has on her property. Yes, you read that right, she rakes leaves in her forest.
She even has a little festival once a year that revolves all around raking leaves. Usually towards the end of october she will invite friends, family and neighbours hand everyone a rake and a barrow let them comb through the garden and property to collect as many leaves as they can. Then we build a massive pile of leaves and burn it all. I like that last part because it's very helloweeny, but come on!
