lawn improvement, part three: we'll call it "winterization"



we finished our last lawn-related effort of the year yesterday when we finally got out there and raked the leaves off. we waited until the ground was frozen, which made it so much easier to rake and not worry about pulling out the little baby grass sprouts. now we just sit back and wait until spring.

let me clarify - i raked the lawn while adam changed the oil in the snow blower. although he led me to believe this would be a small chore and he'd catch up with the raking as soon as he was finished, he actually finished up just as i was carrying my last load of leaves to the woods. what a coincidence.

its ok, though. i don't mind most of the traditionally "manly" chores, but i really have no desire to sit around in the cold handling a roaster pan of motor oil that i would inevitably spill on myself. i'm happy to have adam around to tend to that duty, along with the killing of all spiders and scrubbing of toilets. (yes, ladies, you read that right. i don't clean toilets. my husband may not be perfect, but he's got it where it counts.) and in the spirit of full disclosure, adam did take care of the first batch of leaves a month or so ago. he borrowed a leaf blower to do it, which requires much less effort, but he was left with a lingering odor of incinerated plastic and exhaust fumes that required several showers and some serious laundering to get rid of, so i guess he paid his dues.
