All The Handsome Rakes

This is absurd.
A million-and-one spinning plates
& I'm obsessed w/ leaves.

SCA6 is a close-up cut-away of a leaf.
SP17 thru SP19 are our closing leaf-slogged shots...
a dainty rain of dried maple dappling the barn.

Yet I have not raked.
The front lawn is CHOKED w/ the fallen...
Raking has been on my "To Do" list since Sunday.
And still!
ARGGG!

I put a metal rake in the worktruck this AM.
I have all of a single ACE Hardware leaf bag.
I fear doing any raking at home w/ dad about,
lest a questionaire of what why arise.
But my opportunities are waning.
Even if I get out of work slightly earlier today
even if I go over to Stoneham cemetery to gather nature,
I'm racing that clock.

So far-- no rain. Good.
And everything else seems to be on track.
(just--need--to--hear--from--the--band!)
I'm even traipsing right into the Slamdance Horror Screenplay application
right after this.
See? I'm all about the time management.
Slight headache & sinus.
Took a couple pills + my daily anti-toxin tea.
I'm ready.

But those damn leaves.
