I don’t get it.
It’s fall, my wife and I are both cold outside raking leaves and those leaves come down in buckets.
There are so many, it’s ridiculous. We mainly try to keep up with it because of our coy pond. It feels like it a never-ending nightmare to try and keep them out of it. The last few years we kept failing at it but hoping this year is a bit different. It probably won’t as I forgot to by a cover for it. I was planning on buying a cover and doing my best to make sure that the pond doesn’t become a leaf-filled mess. So I’m outside it feels like all weekend every two hours trying to rake up the leaves, well, the ones that keep landing around the pond and using the net to scoop a bunch out. Regardless, when we are indoors trying to get out of the cool fall weather, the thermostat dial for the heater after a few minutes makes me sweat. My wife just looks at me like I’m weird and says this is the best air quality going on right now and if I’m too hot, then I should go back outside and rake more leaves. I think she’s nuts, maybe I should turn down the thermostat dial and she should go outside. That makes no sense nor could I do that to her. Still, the house is set at 74 degrees and I’m sweating and she is wearing a hoodie with sweatpants just being comfortable. I guess I’ll keep going outside to cool myself down and after I feel cold, I’ll come back inside. Doesn’t matter, when I go back to work Monday, that pond will be full of leaves.
