Picking up Sticks

Now that we have out power restored, it was time to clean up the mess from the hurricane. Leaves and tree parts were everywhere. I first decided to use the leaf blower to move the leaves off the concrete. The leaves were all over the new driveway and the patio.

Next I used the grabber tool to pick up sticks around the yard. There were not that many out front. The back yard was filled with sticks. I created a huge pile of them on the patio. Eventually I will chop them up and throw them out.

Finally I used the lawn mower to cut the grass and pick up the leaves. That was some hard work. I finished the front yard. I started the back. But I was coming up on the 4 hour mark of working outside. A buddy was coming over to go out. So I had to leave the rest of the back yard for later.

All Leaves

I had plans to eat lunch with my buddy today. So I got up real early even though it was the weekend. Woke up the family to get us out in the yard working. Little Kat worked with Momoko to remove the leaves stuck in the bushes in the front yard.

I used the leaf blower to remove all leaves from the patio. Then I used the rake to pull leaves away from the perimeter fence. Kit Kat used the lawn mower to pull up all the leaves. We bagged a ton of leaves.

In the end, we filled up all the trash cans. Little Kat went with the ladies to see the new grocery store. I got some fish for lunch. Then Little Kat and I went to Target. He told me that he and Kit Kat wanted some Cran Grape juice. I hooked them up.
