I thought I was the only one suffering through that misery. I’ll bet it was Enfield Connecticut or thereabouts. It was first pickings and you had to drag your but on the ground and pile the leaves in your lap. It was hot and muggy and by the time I got home I was caked in mud and who knows what else from head to toe. I only lasted about a week.

Boy did I hit the books after that experience!
