No matter how you look at it (astronomical, meteorological, etc) it's now Spring, and we've made it through another Winter. Got the 500,000 sticks from the trees all picked up?

Happy Spring, All !!!

Ha! Sounds like you've seen my lawn!

Don't have them all picked up yet, but am starting to spend a little while each afternoon raking a couple thousand square feet. At this rate, we'll have it all raked and ready to go within a week or so!

You guys don't mow them into the lawn? I'm using a manual reel mower, and I power through. But my OM isn't great, so I don't like ri waste anything.

The sticks don't really mulch up, so I pick up the big ones and rake the twigs.

However, I love the way our new mower just mulches up pine cones -- they just get obliterated into small bits that disappear into the lawn!
