If I come off as a lazy bastard here, well, that’s probably partially correct.

I usually wait as long as I can before raking my yard because, this is true from wherever I’ve lived, there always seems to be one or two trees that take their good old time to start shedding leaves. Rather than start raking early then having to go back out again and again, I’ll just wait until they’re all just about done.

But, if an unforeseen torrential wind storm happens to blow through and clear it all before I can rake it, well… so be it. 🙂
