Leaf Blowing Sight

When you live in the midst of trees, 
Let me say, there’s a lot of leaves!
Leaf blowing can carry on and on and on,
As they keep on falling on the ground they fall upon
But, it’s pretty bad when you have a leaf blowing incident!
So embarrassing, hoping no-one saw the time spent,
Trying to pull a cloth belt from a long sweater, sucked up by the fan!
Into the leaf blower in hand, burning up like a frying pan!
Yes, this REALLY HAPPENED, as pieces flew out the end!
After it was all done, I laughed – it was a sight, my friend!

Hello Heidi ... I just to chuckle at your experience but in many ways, this is what humour is; someone in a predicament and it's not me - hope all is fixed now Heidi - Lindsay

Pretty funny -- now, Heidi. Sounds almost like a slapstick movie splice. Here's to better luck next time with that Leaf Blower! ~ gw

You live close to autumnal paradise, Heidi--no wonder there's much about leaves in their beauty. Picking those leaves, I imagine, is a never ending chore. Your story made me laugh.
