Snow leaves

Yesterday was the first significant (meaning it stuck and didn't melt) snow of the season. There's still snow out there, lying smugly on top of roofs, on leaves, reminding us of what's to come. Of course, we had a full complement of leaves on our lawn. All our other neighbors had been Good Citizens and raked Friday, when it was sunny and dry. It rained on Saturday, but since I was sick both Friday AND Saturday, it didn't matter: I had a lawn full of snowy leaves. Mr Handsome seems easy going to the point of being a push-over, if you don't know him. Don't let his laid-back, mellow attitude fool you. If the man doesn't want to do something, the man won't do it. Doesn't matter how one begs, demands, or bribes. He's immoveable. Unmoveable? Whatever.
Anyhoo, he sure as shit wasn't (and isn't) going to rake until every leaf has fallen from every tree. I can't wait that long. I feel so ashamed, being the only house with a golden carpet for a front lawn! I know, I know... I shouldn't let the opinions of others blah blah blah..., yeah, yeah, I know. But there it is. It is what it is.
So, I raked just about half today, from the (rather long, hilly and slippery) driveway and the front yard. The leaves were many, and determined to stay in their comfy bed on the lawn. And they're heavy. So, I did half. And I'm FREEZING! And nicely tired. Hopefully, I'll sleep well and dreamlessly tonight. The nightmares are getting bothersome again.
I was just thinking about some soup for lunch. Campbell's regular old red and white labelled stuff is what I've got in my cupboard. I looked at the calorie content. Did you all know that regular old Chicken Noodle has fewer calories that Tomato or Vegetable Beef? Also, fewer calories than the "25% less sodium than our regular product" Chicken Noodle! They increase the fat but lessen the sodium! Cheaters. Read your labels, People.
I think I'll ponder my soup choice over a beer. mmmmm.... beerrrrrr......
