Why won't the leaves go on strike...

By

No doubt about it, fall is here and with it, the leaves.  They're everywhere except in the trees where they belong.  This year I took advantage of the fall pick-up services.  For $55, I got two leaf pickups.  All I have to do is rake about a gazillion leaves to the curb and keep them from blowing away.  It works great - I still have one pickup left but my leaves are almost gone!!!  Thanks heavens.  Last year was my second year of homeownership, and I didn't rake responsibly.  Consequently, I had leaves gather into piles by themselves and just sit there, killing the grass.  Then all summer I tried to plant more grass, but evidently it doesn't want to grow there anymore.  I think the grass in my yard went on strike this year; I wish the leaves would go on strike instead.

It's funny because I think all of those leaves are now on the floor mat in my car.  I've been showing all foreclosures lately and every time the buyers and I get in and out of the car we track in more leaves.  I'll be happy when they are gone too.
