no more leaves

One Friday morning before he left for work, Kevin asked me to rake up the leaves so he could tamp the base in preparation for putting the adobes back in place. Notice the neat stack of pavers on the wall.

Kevin had decided that something had to be done about the pavers. They were buckling from the roots of the tree. One root was coming very close to the corner of the house. Eeek!

A pile of leaves before bagging and dumping in the garden area.

We've had some freezing mornings this past week and now our tree is leafless.

Its difficult to see the tree with the other tree behind it that doesn't shed leaves.

I didn't have to rake any more leaves---Kevin must've done the rest.

Doesn't the patio look nice? Kevin has done a fabulous job. Just the edge needs to be finished.
