I Hear A Lawnmower…Probably A Neighbor Mowing Up Their Leaves…

That’s what I need to do, maybe next week or whenever it’s warm enough and not windy. Still have leaves on the Bradford pear tree but they are falling. Plus getting a lot of leaves from the neighbor’s sycamore trees nearly a block away.

I would have to dig my lawnmower out of a snow bank before I could even bring it into the house to get it warm enough to start. Good thing my snow blower has a choke and primer on it so it starts in very cold weather.

Chopped leaf bits make good mulch for the soil under the grass. If you don't have too many leaves, it's a good solution!

I'm so old I can remember when we were allowed to burn our leaves in our backyards in the city.

@cherokeepatti

That's the exact reason alright why our backyard fires were outlawed :(

@rinkydinkydoink Oklahoma is one of the riskiest places to burn it. One time my aunt was doing that out in the country in a barrel and the leaves flew up and started a grass fire. She was trying to put it out and the propane driver drove up to refill the tank and he got out and helped her put it out. I think she wet a towel or gunny sack and they used that to help do it.

@cherokeepatti

You got my mind to wandering about farm life back when - - about the everyday realities like non-stop chores, privacy in a family twice or triple the size of those of today (especially for females), no phones, indoor plumbing, air conditioning...

I need to mow my lawn one more time and cut the weeds by the fence. That should be it for a while unless the warm weather sticks around.

@exexec He just posted it a couple days ago. I believe it was recent, and this happened at night…might have been debris in the dumpster but don’t think so, didn’t look like any insulation in it and someone else mentioned snow.

@cherokeepatti It got down into the 30's one night last week or the week before, so I guess it could have snowed a bit on the north side. No precip down here.

@exexec Yeah it would have melted when it touched the ground

Just get the leaf blower out and blow them into the neighbor's yard

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

@smileylovesgaming that’s what my neighbor across the street did a couple winters ago. He also uses his leaf blower to blow grass clippings into the street after he weed eats. Then they end up next to my curb.

@cherokeepatti I would be tempted to take my leaf blower and blow them back into his yard. Ha ha.

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

@Adrift I think my neighbors felt the same way.
