autumn

Autumn is here again, and leaves will be falling one by one to the ground. Our driveways and lawns will be filled by these leaves. And our roofs, they will be covered with them too.

Autumn is the time of the year when leaf blowers are very much in demand for clearing our outdoors, roofs, and even our patios from the fallen leaves.
