WOW! That's the only reason I hate this time of year. It's beautiful but messy. I had over 30 bags after the bushes were trimmed. Haven't even started the leave clean up yet. They're all from our neighbors yards so we're waiting until more fall since it's been wet and windy here.Can't wait.

Growing up decades ago, we were able to burn the leaves. But now we HAVE to use brown bags for recycling. Luckily if we miss the curb pick up date, the recycling plant is only a few blocks away so I can take them there myself.
