We are now living in a two bedroom two full baths condo with no yard at all. I have to admit that I do at times miss doing the yard work.Here, the landscaping is included in our home owner's fee. I remember that we have a lot of trees on our previous property and when the leaves began to fall, it was quite a job to pick them up. My father had a riding lawn mowing machine with a leaf catcher attached to the rear. He would crisscross the yard on the lawnmower picking them up and dumping them in one large pile to be bag. Cutting the grass and picking up the leaves on the riding lawnmower was fun and I enjoyed it a lot. It was a very efficient way to clean the yard. A riding lawnmower is expensive but if you have a large yard it is well worth the money.
