The Annual Leaf Blower Ritual
The Owner has been busy! I know that happens rarely and in itself would be worthy of comment but he has been to the garden machine shop and emerged with several strange looking devices under his arm and Shop Yoof Hoomun pushing a strange machine on wheels. All were loaded in to the boot of the car and Shop Manager came out to wave us off. His words as we left struck a chord of knowing within me. "You'll let us know which leaf blower you want to buy when you have tried them?" The Owner responded with a cheery wave as we drove out and responded "I'll be in touch when I have tried them all!" We did this last year too as I remember it. Take half a dozen leaf blowers and charge around the garden in a frenzy and then take them all back and say you have changed your mind and none of them came up to scratch. He of course had a row with Shop Manager Hoomun on that occasion and so this year it is a different shop. There will now follow two days of frenetic activity in the autumn leave department. Of course, this now means heaps of leaves. And what do we do with heaps of leaves? We run through them!!!!! He gets very cross with me of course but I am afraid it is worth it. It is definitely worth it!!!! I just need to get that done before he gets to the big one on wheels as that seems to come with a big bag to blow them into. Oh how I love days like these.
