Slow going

With some rain and windy weather, I was unable to tackle a big task that hits my outside area each spring and fall -- LEAVES!!!
Do they have them in Arizona? Because, if they do not, I am ready to pack up and move.
I get leaves year round, and it's a hassle bagging them, let me tell you.
It has been made easier with a neat lawn vacuum from Sears, but it's still a chore. The vacuum grinds the leaves and small branches down for mulch and easier bagging, but it still is a lot of work.
I do it a little at a time, and the front is ALMOST done.
The most difficult part of the chore is taking the leaves OUT of the vacuum's bagger and putting them into large plastic lawn bags or those paper bags supplied by our village.
If anyone has a tip or two about this part of the procedure, please feel free to contribute.

Busy weekend

Wanted desperately to attack outside projects -- like leaves, landscaping, etc. -- this weekend, but rain might throw a wrench into the plans. Do have some indoor concerns, organizing mostly, so we have options.
