D: wear gloves while raking. Get your guy to halp too :o

I was at work when she tackled this. :-/ I was going to wait until the first mowing of spring, then use the mulcher/bagger attachment to take care of this, given the vast amount of SAND trapped in the leaves.

Of course Stubborn Nova doesn't ever ask me about things BEFORE tackling them. XD

Hurr :C
BAD NOVA.
lol x3

Make sure you wear gloves, yeah. Also.. get a blower? xD;

Also make sure you treat the blisters and -do not- pop them.

See, Nova? Do not pop.

Alcohol on the outside of the blister to dry it out.

Leaf blower! :3

Blower would not budge this carpet of leaves. Too much sand trapped in them.

No Grass + Heavy Leaf Fall + fenced yard = Leaf Carpet.
