Pedro bought me a leaf blower, I can't believe it, it is my very own! Usually I borrow Brent Nelson's gear, but not this year, not this time. I have my own blower, it's not a hurricane, but it's enough. Enough to tackle my problems, enough to blow my leaves. Leaves love my yard. They land in gutters, cracks, cement and even my dog's ear. But now I have my very own blower, the one Pedro bought me. Slowly, gently I take it out of the garage, pour the best blend of Gas/Oil mix I can find, and then I fire it up! Vroom, vroom! Leaves, you haven't got a chance. Even my lazy dog comes to check out my new machine. You can see it in his eyes, he's impressed. Leaf by leaf, pile by pile, the lawn turns green. Every leaf is like a thought, a whisper, a memory. Good bye Mr. Leaf, you were not invited to my lawn party. Go home, be gone. My leaf blower won't trifle with you any longer. There is nothing like the fall, a red flannel, and a fine working leaf blower. Simple pleasures fill the soul. Why does one blower mean so much to me? Why shouldn't it? I never had my very own: It may not impress the cutting crew across the street, but that isn't the goal. The goal is leaves, and with my blower they leave. Take that cutting crew. And by the way, Pedro bought it for me. Well, the job is done. And this time my shoulder doesn't ache, my back is straight... however I can't hear too good. And look, my lawn is green and my dog's ears are clean. Time to put my wonderful new blower back safely in the garage. What am I to learn from this gift? Pedro really cares!

Way to go Pedro! As for your hearing Chris, I'll give you some earplugs. As a safety consultant, it's my regular work gear! Congratulations. It makes fall yard work more enjoyable.
