Do you rake the leaves your yard or just let them lay?
We rake leaves in the fall or else the snakes will hibernate among them! eek! We got lots of trees, too and will bag up 13 bags a week until it is over about 7 weeks later.
We rarely answer our landline at all. Even the "Private Calls" don't get answered as they usually are solicitors. I do listen for the machine to pick up. If it is someone we know we will pick up. Too bad we need our landline for DSL or I'd get rid of it.
If a unopened box of chocolates/goodies are sitting on the table will you eat it?
