...to the inventor of the mulching mower. We spent a good part of the weekend doing a lot of prep for the arrival of Chicky. From making sure the old bins of 0-6 month clothes were dug out & prepared, to packing a bag of Lucy clothes (were she to need to be whisked away suddenly to grandma & grandpa's house), to setting up an extra diaper changing station on level 2 of the house. Tons of odds & ends. Also-making sure leaf work was pretty much done for the year.Now...down one and a half trees from a couple of years ago, we obviously are up against a much more modest collection of leaves than was once the case. But nevertheless, raking an entire yard is a task I have never loved. See here, how our wonderful new electric mower simplifies the process (while adding a healthy layer of mulch that will protect the yard this winter, and vitalize it in the spring). And...Good God, but this saved me a lot of time; time I could spend doing a lot of other shit that really should have been done a few weeks ago.
So three cheers for the inventor of this amazing, simple blockage of the grass chute! Sir, I am in your debt.

Next weekend is leaf raking time.
There are many household tasks I like far less. Dusting comes to mind. What a ridiculous activity.
But what a necessary activity! We don't dust thoroughly or frequently enough, and MAN, but that dust builds up!
What can you do? No one can possibly dust in all the little edges & corners in the relief of a picture frame, or on individual leaves of a plant! But those things are accumulating dust constantly, sure as shootin'.
Once a year I take down all the spoons on Sarah's spoon rack and dust each one. Before I put them away I dust the rack itself. The entire job takes about an hour. Sucks!
Phooey.
Good Lord, man! You're the type of guy they mock in Miller Lite commercials!
