I am Leaving

[andial]

Did alot of leaving or raking leaves as some people call it the last few days around the yard. I do the front in the fall so my neighbors don't hate me but I leave the back for the spring. Anyone else do the same?

[budfox]

I think I'll make like trees and leave too..

[southfork]

Your post was most deceptive, you should have said I am Leafing

[Irons]

I have woods on 3 sides, so I leaf with a Stihl 420 Magnum backpack blower. This thing might be God.

Leaves, acorns, shell casings empty heineken bottles etc all go's out into the woods.~:bowdown:

[phideaux]

Are you pressing after you are done leaving?

[andial]

What is pressing phideaux? As far as calling it leafing I agree but people in these parts call it leaving so I just leave it at that.

I still go the rake route my man. I have woods in the back of me and I set up a nice burm of leaves along the whole run.

I leave it to the wife to take care of the leaves. I have "allergies". ;)

Thanks for the info phideaux. I can't believe I actually learned something on this sham of a mockery of a travesty of a thread I started.

Eats, Shoots and Leaves ..............:haha:

Eats, Shoots and Leaves ..............:haha:

Thanks actually a funny book about grammar from not too long ago :p

[anothername1]

So, also here's the joke "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" to bring a laugh this Sunday morning:

:haha: "Eats Shoots And Leaves

A panda walks into a cafe'. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a Panda," he says, at the door. "Look it up!"

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"P a n d a. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

(Note to Cpthnsolo -- I agree, "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" is a must for grammarians everywhere and has a place of honor in my office! :cool:)

I leave it to the wife to take care of the leaves. I have "allergies". ;)

Good one! I feel a sneeze coming on. "Sorry Dear, I just can't do any raking this weekend, damn allergies."

[Merlin]

...people in these parts call it leaving so I just leave it at that.

My mother used to "scoop" snow in the winter in rural Illinois. A friend from Rhode Island said that a water fountain was a "bubbler" and that a milk shake was a "cabinet." Isn't our language grand!

The first time I used one of those, it never occurred to me that the operators need to hold the auger in the air so it will pull the dirt out of the ground. First hole I drilled, the auger screwed itself tightly to the ground :)

Did alot of leaving or raking leaves as some people call it the last few days around the yard. I do the front in the fall so my neighbors don't hate me but I leave the back for the spring. Anyone else do the same? I'm always in continual motion raking leaves, even going unto the roof to blow them off with my Black&Decker, 200+m.p.h. blower. Maintain the grounds throughout the year, never ending, but enjoy it very much. Always make sure that the rear is as clean as the front portion. Our home faces the South, as the leaves on the North wall always fall first, prior to the leaves on the South wall. This year has been very unusual, in that the trees are still somewhat full, never seen that in many, many years. I'll probably be raking into next spring, maybe further. The leaves are usually gathered, and trees cleaned by early to mid November. There is usually quite a load by the end of October, which was not so this year. Last year we received an abundance of acorns, really dislike that task. However, this only appears every five years, or there about. We get at least four good sized 30 gallon bags of those acorns. The recycle people dislike hefting those bags into the trucks. I do assist them though. You know those bags are extremely heavy. Has anyone noticed the late falling of the leaves this year, and can anyone equate this in any certain sense?

[andial]

Hey synoptic12, I haven't had any acorns this year and yes the trees are mostly full. The soil is so saturated that life can hang on a little longer. I will be leaving starting this weekend though just to keep things tidy. I have about an acre with some good sized oaks. The front is all evergreens but leaves from the numerous amount of oaks in our area make their way to my house. So next week I'm leaving for good.

[Irons]

I started serious leaving today, I will be leaving for at least 4 more days so don't put the chips and dip away yet.

[andial]

Are you bagging them,burming them or burning them?

[Lt Dan]

Leaving? We are still smoking grass here... :bird: Or is that mowing grass? :hahaha:

[Irons]

I have woods on 3 sides so I blast them out far enough so that they won't blow back in.

I have a hopped up backpack Stihl so I has to be careful or I remove sod and shrubbery.

Whoever built this thing before I bought it used was bored or insane, Earplugs required!

I have woods behind me with a gentle slope down. Makes for an easy spread of the leaves. In the front I bag them for recycle. I only use rakes for leaving as it is more envirnmentaly friendly.:bandito:
