When I lived in Michigan I had about 10 years of dead leaves in my backyard, and the city rules were that all leaves had to be bagged in special bags or the town trash pickup wouldn't take them.

Two of the sweetest little boys came by and asked me if I wanted them to rake my leaves, and I was so thrilled! They were borderline almost too young to do the work, but I told them I would pay them an adult wage if they did a really good job, AND I bought them each a rake and some work gloves so they could work for others in the neighborhood.

There wasn't ONE leaf in my back yard when they were done! Best money I ever spent!

Ah, shucks I was just peeping in your windows is all. LOL

Seriously though it is great that you have concerned and watchful neighbors (You are a Beautiful woman you know).

That means you have some good neighbors and that young man is trying to get that money. Hard to find good workers

That`s awesome, good for him.

glad you got the help

My neighours hobby is watching my house.

Pay him well. too many lazy kids these days
