40 bags of leaves, raked, bagged, loaded in the truck and discarded at the dump. Wow, it would have taken me a whole week of steady work to do what 6 college kids and other friends and family did in two hours on Saturday.
The joys and responsibilities of camp ownership. Unless I get the yard and hill raked I end up in the spring with a muddy mess. And if the leaves lie on the decks throughout the winter they are all stained by the following spring. So this was a huge blessing to get it done in one day. And now that I am a bit older, lugging the heavy leaf bags up the hill is an issue. To say the least, I was impressed with those college guys who hoisted the black bags up on their shoulders and ran up the steps to the waiting truck! Go youth!
The hot apple cider, hot chocolate, brownies and chocolate chip cookies helped.
And did I mention it was raining, pouring out? They were awesome!
Josh is rescuing Grady who pranced out on the evergreen tree which had recently fallen over into the river.
The rescue was brave and daring however both dogs could not resist the water and were jumping in to retrieve sticks and balls the guys would throw for them.
This was the first year that Elizabeth participated in fall clean up! She really enjoyed it and looks forward to being here for the event next year!
Thanks everyone for ALL your help!
