Kelsey's+Horrible+Fall+Raking+Leaves

Most people like fall the leaves changing colors and falling but I do not because I have to do this horrible thing called raking leaves.

After I get the leaves in a pile I have to somehow, get the leaves in the trashcan. That is the worst part because I put the rake in one hand and my other hand on top of the pile of leaves that is on the rake but then the rake tips over and BAM it falls on the ground so I have to do it all over again. Now that's when I get miniature pieces of smashed up leaves in my shoes, and socks, and down my shirt.

Not long after I start to rake the leaves, my arms, and hands start to hurt because the rake will not pick up the pieces of leaves so I have to rake my massive yard a second time.

One day I rake the yard and it seems like the next day I have to rake it again because the leaves will not stop plopping on to the ground. It's like come on leaves can't you help a sister out. Those little twerps are just so rude to me it's like what did I ever do to them. I planted the tree because I thought the leaves were cute and then what do they do they just fall right off.

Last fall it was terrible because, the leaves would fall one day then the next it would rain. That makes the leaves almost attach to the ground. So it was treacherous to rake the leaves then. Note to self rake the leaves a week after it rains.

Next, after I move from the front to the back yard it feels like I am drenched in sweat because it is so steaming out and nobody helps me so I am all alone raking the lawn. Plus to top it off the humidity is really high because it is in the middle of the day so the sun is out.

One time I got home about 3:30p.m. and my mom wanted me to rake so I did. I started with the front yard, got some leaves in a small pile. My dog was barking so I let her run into the front yard on the side of the yard where I was raking. She sprints really fast and jumps in the pile of leaves that took me an hour to rake. And so I did all that work and it went down the drain. So now I get the leaves back in the pile and what do you know it's already 6:30p.m. and finally I get to go inside after a long day of work.

Finally you can see I would much rather be inside carving pumpkins or setting up cookie trays for neighbors. As you just read I have great reasons not to like the leaves changing colors and falling.
