Add it to the list

Of things I'd rather hire out than do myself.

Yesterday we spent about 3 hours in the backyard raking and bagging leaves. When we bought our house, it was pretty apparent that the backyard had gone years without being raked. I think the weekend right after we bought the house, my dad spent an entire day in the backyard raking up leaves and yesterday we bagged about 20 bags. The actual process wasn't too terribly bad, but oy vey... my body was hurting last night and is sore today.

(this is only about half of the bags!)

Hopefully we will have won the lottery before we need to rake again in about a month.
