How in the world would I figure the amount of calories burned after working in the yard? Lots of raking mulch, walking up and down the huge back field, digging with a shovel, planting, and more raking.. About 2 1/2 hours of this. Anyonw have any ideas?

Best way is, unfortunately, by using a heart rate monitor. Other than that, it's tough - and depends on your current weight, level of exertion, etc.
There are some nice calorie calculators available on line. Do a quick "google" for calories burned during yard work... should take you to a few options.0 -
In the database there is raking, and gardening0
