The first of the leaves are falling - I spent my first morning of the season raking/shredding leaves on Saturday.  AJ helped with the raking, but the shredding is a one person job (though he did change the cutting line in the shredder for me.)  I'll be spending the next few weekend raking and shredding....and green-waste runs.  At least the shredding keeps the number of runs down. Saturday's leaves weren't even close to a full trailer, so maybe next week - depending on how many leaves fall.  Without shredding, it would have been a full trailer.

Ripley was helping though - she was keeping an eye out for intruders and any rabid squirrels....
