I don't rake either, but I do set the mower extra low and mulch what is in my yard. Also makes the yard look nice when it snows...

that's acceptable.. i'm talking about the people who don't do anything.. who just
let their leaves sit in their yard and then blow all over the neighborhood..

My excuse is that my back has been just killing me the last couple of weeks.

But just to please you, I'm hiring a neighborhood kid to rake and bag this weekend.
see.. there's always a way to get it done..

remember when they used to let you burn the leaves - Q-Town was cloaked in acrid smoke.

I do rake, but I don't do it every week. Up to a point I think the leaves on the ground look nice.

I refuse to rake and I won't hire anyone to do it for me.

Guilty. Mostly because *my* trees haven't dropped their leaves yet. All the leaves in my yard fell off my neighbor's tree.

But my yard is fenced in, so the leaves don't really blow into anyone else's yard. The leaves in front of my house come from god-knows-where. My street acts like some sort of weird leaf vortex that sucks them all in, then deposits them right at my gate.

Because I want to kill my lawn so I don't have to mow it anymore.

Unfortunately, every year, despite not raking, my lawn grows back thicker and greener than the year before.

I am partly kidding. But seriously it seems like such a futile thing to do. I understand shoveling snow out of your driveway and I have no problem doing that. But leaves disintegrate. And don't block you from getting out of your garage no matter how tall they pile up.
