In a previous post I was saying how much I enjoyed watching the seasons change now that fall is here in Utah. This a picture of the tree in our front yard. Beautiful! But my strong distaste for having to clean up these yucky pea pods that fall off of the tree is overpowering my love for fall right now. Yesterday afternoon Zachary and I went to WalMart to purchase a rake. I thought that I found this awesome rake for a very reasonable price. Zachary went down for a nap when we got home. Good thing....cause he didn't hear me trying not to say profanitites to the piece of crap rake that I thought was such a good deal. The handle kept coming out of the base of the rake every other time that I was raking the god-forsaken pea pods! Now that I think of it I probably looked funny talking to the rake every thirty seconds. I was so irritated by the time I finished that I didn't have the energy to pick up the pods. So there are about 4 piles in the front yard waiting to be bagged. I was secretly hoping that my husband would surprise me and pick the piles up for me. But that hasn't happened....yet. =)
