What do you know! We finally got rain on Tuesday morning! It was fantastic! After being so dried it started with strong wind, bringing dark clouds loaded with cold water and then it rained buckets! Luckily I picked all leaves from my lawn the day before. Yeah!! This year, instead of raking leaves I set my lawn mower on high blade and used the bag, that way it creates a vacuum sucking all leaves getting mulched into the bag. It works beautifully! I got compliments for that task. It tales very little time vs. raking and bagging, that kills my lower back. Lucy couldn’t believe that I finished so quickly!
