...and, sweep off your patio.  I thought I brought you up neater than this :)

That IS the sweeped-off patio.  Vast amounts of leaves accumulate against the house and my back door, so I sweep them out to the edge as you see here.  I have to do it a few times, but eventually the wind takes them away.  Otherwise I’d have to sweep them all directly out onto the lawn in a big pile, and there are tons of them, so I don’t want to do that.
