Hidden Treasures?

Fall is a beautiful time in the Pacific Northwest!

Deciduous trees losing their grip on their last green, red and yellow leaves until the next wind sends them to the ground.

It’s when these leaves land in your back yard that they become a problem.

Our back yard is hit especially hard with our location next to a small wetland. Keeping up with the raking is almost impossible.

I don’t mind a little raking on a sunny day; good exercise, adding to the compost pile and time with the dog!

Our adorable little Corgi actually blends right in with the leaves!
Blending in with the leaves I don’t mind, but the hidden treasures she leaves on a daily bases I can do without.

There is NOTHING WORSE THAN walking through the yard, raking leaves and finding a fresh poop well hidden under a large maple leaf.

I didn't show the actual treasure under the maple... too gross! 

It wouldn’t be so bad if there were only a few. The problem with the PNW is that with the beautiful fall colors comes rain... and lots of it.  I haven’t racked in over a week and the yard is covered.

Who knows where the next hidden Corgi treasure will be?  Hopefully it won’t be on my boot!
