I cleaned the gutters out in front of the house but the wind has blown the leaves around again.

They also shoveled ice away from the drains early in February.

This City cleans out everyone's wallet. LOL

I'm surprised that they didn't clean out yours from a thousand miles away. LOL

You must have a lot of trees on your streets there I suppose, where I lived in Toronto we had Elm trees on one side and Maples on the other until the Dutch Elm disease came and wiped them all out, then they decided to widen the street and took all the Maples down. Used to be really nice under the canopy of those trees, fall time was a pain in the *** though raking leaves for weeks..
