Leaf Raking!

So, today I went leaf raking as part of a service project with my church. We split up into groups and went to homes of people who can't rake their yard themselves (usually senior citizens) and we raked! My group did 3 houses, but 2 of those 3 had yards that were COVERED with leaves, and I mean covered. We had 10 bags full of leaves for one house, 20 bags for another house and around 30 for the last house. We could have had more for the last house, but after a while we discovered that the backyard backed up into the woods, so towards the end, we just raked the leaves onto a blue tarp, carried the tarp over, and dumped the leaves on the other side of the woods. A lot of work, but we all felt a sense of accomplishment and the people seemed to really appreciate it. Afterwards, we had Gino's East pizza for lunch-very good, if I say so myself. The rest of the day I spent napping, trying to do homework and actually doing homework.

Well, I need to get up early tomorrow. Should be interesting. I'm EXHAUSTED and will probably be sore soon.
