The sun is shining, and that's good, especially after the week we've just had. This is probably the day when the leaves get raked or blown or whatever I'm going to do with them. I object to leaf blowers in general. They are loud and obnoxious. Unfortunately, they are also effective, and since the construction workers are outside my window in force, the ear protectors can serve a dual function so I don't mind "selling out" quite so much. This is another one of those time when I miss my boys. Not only do I like looking out the window and seeing other people do work I should and could be doing, there is something just this side of sinful about sipping hot cocoa and watching others cope with autumn winds.
Still, there is something gratifying about doing something in the way of work around the house that actually shows. And I must confess that I tend to let things go until the neighbors sigh with relief that I've done anything at all. I like to make that big impact visually, you know what I mean? So off I go, rake, ear protectors, and endless paper bags in hand to prove once and for all that I am a responsible citizen. It's either that or go for a run. Or maybe out to lunch......
