I know the months long snow is not far away, so I've been trying to clean up the yard so there will be nothing to impeded the tractor or snow blower. I live in the forest, my yard is a mass of Ponderosa and Jack Pines. They drop needles all year long, huge numbers of them along with cones every fall and spring and fewer in the summer and winter. So, you have leaf/needle raking duties twice a year unlike a deciduous tree that drops it's leaves only in the fall.
I've been hauling needles out back for three weeks and now I'm looking out front and seeing a new mass of needles. They are just a little bit too wet to get them to burn. I really don't want to go rake and haul today, I have other things to do! Sigh.
