You could be called the lawn Luddites. You're the holdouts who shun leaf blowers and lawn vacuums, the hardy types who find satisfaction in the scrape of tines on grass.
Years ago, Frank Sinatra sang lovingly of the summer wind, the winter wind and, yes, the autumn wind. From this we can probably deduce that he didn't rake a whole lot of leaves as a youngster.

IF you love Home Depot, it's because you're not living with Home Depot. My family involuntarily is living next to a Home Depot. The experience has become literally a nightmare.

One flaw harms Acadia National Park, a prized destination for more than 2.5 million visitors a year. The problem is the 130 privately-owned tracts that remain within the parks boundary. That means, as a worst case, that visitors seeking peace and quiet in the grandeur of the mountains and ocean could, without action to acquire and protect these lands, come upon a hot dog stand or a cell phone tower.
