[quote=Anonymous]I don't live directly in HH, but do live in the general area surrounded by a ton of trees.  We came from a newer, planned community, and I was a little bit surprised by all the wildlife.  We have a pool so we fish out all kinds of critters--mice, baby snakes, large frogs, etc.  I've come across a couple snakes sunning themselves on the trail.  The other evening, we watched an owl chase a squirrel through our tree (squirrel got away).  We've also seen a bald eagle and have seen a couple red tailed hawks fighting above our house.  We also have a neighborhood fox (you'll wonder who is being killed the first time you hear a fox screaming at 2am while you're trying to get your dog to pee).

Only the pool critters bother me because they're the only ones I directly have to deal with, and I don't think I'd ever even know most of them were out there if we didn't have the pool.  I commute to Farragut Square and it takes about 35 minutes door to door, but I commute in pretty early in the morning.

On the leaves, you definitely spend several hours several weekends in a row dealing with leaves in the fall.  Plenty of people hire it done (our neighbors with yard services have their leaf collection included in their yearly rate).  If you don't hire it done, a blower (we have a battery-powered one) makes it much easier.  If you have kids, convince (make) them to help.  My boys love to help with the leaves.[/quote]
