It’s that time of year again, me versus trees. I cleared my yard of leaves Saturday afternoon. There were twice as many when I woke up this morning. I had also cleaned the gutters which usually takes at least half an hour. The back side of my house is 2 and a half stories up. So, I’m up there, crawling and trying to keep my center of gravity as low as possible while trying to reach into the gutter without having any part on my body having to be over the edge. It’s real fun when everything in there is wet and has to be dug out by hand. Gloves are no good because thy just get soaked and flop around. It has to be done bare handed. I usually come out with tore up fingers because whoever put the gutter in somehow got a bunch of screw tips sticking out on the inside.
Anyway, every year the trees get bigger with more limbs and leaves. Every year I get older and more creaky.
