tackling the leaves before the rain comes

Looks like it's going to rain tonight.
Fortunately, my friend Lisa came here today, along with her beau, and Lisa and I got up on the roof together with John's mega leaf blower while her sweetie started raking the yard. The dismount was much more difficult, but we made it back off the roof in one piece. Not a moment too soon tonight. We raked as many leaves as daylight and the number of bags I had allowed. And then, the rain started.
There is, however, still much to do but our most immediate needs have been taken care of today.
