[Peaches]

The first year I lived up here in the woods, I used a rake. I raked 2 X 4 feet of property and the pile was a foot deep.

I bought a blower. It's electrical though (yes, I have a LOT of outside extension cords). It's the best thing since sliced bread. I wish Black and Decker would come out with one that uses a batter like their weed whacker.

Last year I didn't blow the leaves at all. Life went on. I'll sweep them off the deck, but blowing leaves when you live in the woods is almost silly.
