no wonder they call it fall…right?

Fall out

He knows he has the wind at his back!

Winner winner chicken dinner

Time to rewire one of those.

Beats cornhole AND pickleball.

Hope Bleeb’s not caught up in there somewhere!

It’s a suburban blowoff!

Then mulch them.

The children can’t wait.

Important safety rule, don’t cross the streams, I mean hot air. It would be bad. Ghost Busters

Remember…… DONT – CROSS – THE – STREAMS!!!

The Leafbusters!

Where is the ear protection?

Make sure they’re fully charged

I remember as a kid actually raking and PICKING UP the leaves.

I see your leaf blower is as big as mine….

We live in the countryside with a huge sycamore in the front yard which drops massive amounts of leaves. After a few windy days, the yard is swept clean. They blow into surrounding farm fields where they are plowed under to add to the organic decay of the top soil.

I think this year I will just walk around on them and mow them into mulch. I’m pretty sure by summer the bits will be invisible.

And the noise goes everywhere.

What nice neighbors, I see they are doing this before sun up, to make sure everyone’s awake.

They’ve blown this out of proportion.

But that’s about it! You could rake, but where’s the fun in that?

Bleeb is wisely staying indoors for this. Hi, Bleeb!

Yep. Rake leaves all afternoon. Neighbor then blows all their leaves into your yard. That’s how wars start.

Great art! Getting better and better…Love it…

Leaf the wars to the Army, guys.

…or whichever one runs outta gas first!
