Tarps are my friend

Yes, they are. I didn't realize how much easier it is to move leaves, branches, and sometimes dirt with a tarp. I bought a fancy mulcher/ leaf blower, which I do love the mulching part, yet to move massive mounds of leaves, pull up a tarp and rake onto it and PULL! I have a little wagon that I love, but when it comes to moving a lot of light things a tarp is where it's at.

We had help this weekend with branch removal which created a large pile of cottonwood branches. I dragged most of the larger ones by hand, then added the smaller branched to a pile on the tarp then moved them to the back yard out of the way. (And or along the fence line to hopefully distract the deer).
