Know the feeling about all those leaves and then wanting to start too soon. Last week my back started playing up (perennial problem which gets sorted by a chiropractor - no knives within a mile of me!), and on Monday I felt better so went for a walk…..and afterwards wished that I had waited a bit longer. So, don't do as I do, do as the others tell you and keep to one can of beer at a time and let the leaves wait until the spring! Use the time saved to do something really important - like that model on the bench.
