Not Santa's little helper but my little helper, taking sticks and leaves out of the bag as quick as I was putting them in.   She had such fun out in the garden this afternoon and has tired herself out.
All the lawns have now been raked free of leaves, just the non-grassed areas to be tackled as and when time and weather permit.    So pleased to get the lawns cleared as the walnut leaves are so big and dense that they soon kill off the grass under them..
