Remember, I had drained the lawn mower for the winter. Now I know why I don't usually do it that early: the leaves. It is easy for me to mow the whole lawn in an hour, and dump the collected leaves on the flower beds for compost. But that option wasn't available, and company was coming for dinner. If given a choice between inside and outside cleaning for company, you will always find me outside first.
It was a lovely 65 degree and sunny day so I raked the leaves just in front. You can see they are half way down the slope to the street and it does look like I mowed where they have been raked. I only got the front done and it took an hour. I am sure I will be stiff tomorrow, even though I alternated sides when I didn't think I could rake ten inches more.
