Every fall the trees around my house conspire to hide my lawn from me and to create a whole bunch of work. The question is how do I make this entertaining? Because it's not... No matter what your Dad told you about raking being good for you.
One thing about our years in Florida is that I never had to rake anything. The odd palm frond would fall, but that's about it. A single 10lb frond is much easier to manage when compared to an endless supply of biomass falling from the old oaks around our house.
Well, in an attempt to entertain myself, goof off with the kids, AND rake this year, I decided to make a video. We discovered the joys of back-yard bobsledding with a kids scooter toy a while back, and coupling that with a leaf pile seemed like a fine idea.
As a side note, me falling down in the leaves is not graceful, but hardly something that I wouldn't post. In slow-motion no less. Because, that's what this blog is about; entertaining my friends and family. Of course, the reality is that my audience is probably getting smaller after my inconsistent posting and silly videos.
