Blow back

So I spent a good chunk of the past weekend with my electric-powered leaf blower. My wife was like, are you going to get some clear plastic bags for 'em? Nah. Figured as long as I put that nice long pile of leaves at the edge of the yard but not on the curb per the city's request (yes, I'm paying attention), I've done my civic duty.

But that's been blown all to Hades.

Wind gusts exceeding 30 mph? Are you kidding me?

Last check my beautiful leaf pile was scattered across my yard and into part of the street. My neighbors are even getting a little slice of my leaf action (sorry neighbors).

Oh well. Fool me once...Time to break out the bags this time.
