| Beginning the job |
This past week has seen the weather turn very chilly. With nighttime temperatures several degrees below zero and daytime temperatures under 10 degrees, winter is on its way. And many Canadians are spending their weekends outside doing the last few jobs before the snow sets in for several months. One of those jobs is raking and bagging the autumn leaves so that the ground is bare before the snow arrives. Why? Apparently if the leaves stay on the ground, they go mouldy and kill the grass after a long winter of heavy snow on top. So today I decided to practice being a Canadian and get to work raking and bagging the leaves. We only have one big tree in our backyard, but there were still plenty of leaves to rake up - 6 bags full to be exact. I managed to work up quite a sweat whilst doing the job, stripping off layers as I went. The next Canadian job this week? Prepare for Halloween - buy some lollies for the trick or treaters, decorate the front yard, find a costume to wear and bake some scary treats.
