Being a homeowner definitely has its perks, but after seeing the front yard at this Rockford home I am so, so happy I rent an apartment.

Nothing says fall like raking your yard for hours, bagging up all the leaves... just to have more leaves fall onto your lawn.  It is an endless, vicious cycle this time of year.

So I was driving home from work and saw this Rockford home with an insane amount of leaf bags on their curb.  Not only is there one row of bags, there are TWO!

I'm not just talking a few bags, you could LITERALLY build an entire fence with the amount of bags they had.  This is nothing compared to what I'm about to show you.

Take a look at this photo, you tell me if I am overexaggerating!

There had to be a point where they were like, "The amount of bags we are tearing through is kinda getting out of hand..."

After taking the photo, I counted 30 leaf bags in JUST THE FRONT ROW.  I can't even imagine the amount of bags hiding BEHIND them.

If the homeowner didn't take an ice bath after this, I applaud them - I can't even shovel snow for more than 4 seconds without my back giving out.

What also blows my mind is the amount of leaves still sitting in the yard.  Couldn't be me.  Nope. I'd sell my house. Or.. cut down all my trees (lol) - just kidding.

If you know this Rockford family or you ARE the person who bagged the thousands of leaves into these bags, I would love to talk with you.

Internet, do your thing and find me these leaf-loving homeowners!
