The top ten signs you've hired the wrong kid to rake your leaves:

10. He charges you by the leaf.

9. Keeps asking where he should plug in the rake.

8. Picks up leaves one at a time, dips them in nacho cheese and eats them.

7. Says, "This'll just take a minute," and starts soaking your lawn with gasoline.

6. Your neighbor calls and asks, "Who's that naked guy chasing my dog with your rake?"

5. Half an hour after he starts, you notice he's sitting on your back porch.

4. You recognize his work gloves from the O.J. Simpson trial.

3. Comes to your door and says, "I've had a long talk with the leaves, and they've decided to stay."

2. Constantly reminding you that he used to be famous for those 'Home Alone" movies.

1. His motto: "Rake a leaf, do a shot."
 
I once hired a guy to remove the leaves. He blew most of them in the neighbor's yards and got all of them mad at me.

He then had the gall to go to one of those neighbors and ask if they wanted to pay him to remove the leaves from THEIR yard. <a href="http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php" title="Smiley"><img src="http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-laughing001.gif" alt="Smiley" border="0" /></a>

He is Personal non-gratis in this neighborhood.
 
When I lived in the central valley of California, my neighbor had a huge walnut tree, half of which hung over the fence into my back yard. She was a very nice lady, and I asked her if she wanted any of the walnuts that fell into my yard, and she said no, they were mine. And she still gave me bags of tomatoes and oranges every fall. I gave her most of my percimmons and pomagranates, because they're nasty and yucky!

Wow! I'd love to just be able to go out there and pick pomegranates! That stuff doesn't grown around here, so you rely on grocery stores to provide them.
I love pomegranates, especially during the holidays...and of course, Pom juice makes the best Cosmos...Yum!

Not much on pomegranates but I do love a ripe persimmon.
