I can't keep up with the leaves

I'm trying to sweep off two bedroom decks and the leaves cover them faster than I can sweep.

Wait till the trees are nekkid! The shovel!

Preds, ${#emotions_dlg.laugh}$ I'll take the leaves over the snow any day.

sylvia, I hear ya. I only blow the leaves off my porch and deck once a day. I could be out there all day doing it.

...but I want them off the decks so we can sit out there---the weather is beautiful----we use a blower on the lawn

A lot of people gather them and get rid of them--I consider leaves to be part of the earth's rejuvenation process, and have the landscapers mow them to give the nutrition back to the earth.

Or, I am lazy and just don't want to rake leaves.

You pick.

...and Ponderosa needles--they all are sticking to doormats and tracking into the house----how many times do I vaccuum?-oh well, better than slush and mud

you're right the lawn guy mows them up later we blow them---I just want them off the decks ---and there is a breeze, encouraging them off the trees

The bottom part of our house is white stucco, that is the only place we blow the leaves away from. The don't really seem to cause a problem on the porches and decks, maybe sweep them off with a broom now and then.

We have a lot of acreage and they just seem to decompose over the winter.
