It happened this weekend, and I am very sore today.
Over the years we’ve developed a system. It’s basically this: rake leaves onto huge tarp, drag tarp to giant leaf compost, dump leaves, repeat 100x.
Thankfully it goes quicker now that the girls are older, but I still wish an elf with a giant ride on vacuum/mower would magically appear when the times comes!

It’s my mom’s place.
If we didn’t clear some of the leaves out they’d just pile up and get soggy… become a breeding ground for mosquitoes etc. :)

Claudette: Piper didn’t come this time! She’s a handful, especially when the weather is bad and it’s mucky outside. :)
My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
