In our town, bulk pick-up means leaving all your big items that don't fit in the usual garbage cans, out on the side of the road for the town to pick up. This happens once a year. Today we gave it a different meaning...major leaf pick up. This does happen once a year with us, but after a winter of blowing around and getting stuck in corners of the house, we had huge piles to collect. We've been waiting for calmer and drier weather but that hasn't happened (especially the wind), so we decided to get the bulk of them loaded up in the specially made dump box of the New Holland tractor. It was challenging with 25 mph winds, but we were hoping they would at least blow back in the woods where they belong.
We were so happy yesterday when we woke up and saw that the previous night's storm had blown a lot of the leaves away, but by afternoon the wind had switched and blew them all back. Oh well, we will continue to get the bulk and leave the detailing for later. At least now all my spring flowers can start to come up.
