We've come to that wonderful time of year when you really can't keep the tree leaves raked and swept up. A couple of days ago it looked like we were the only ones in the neighborhood with a leaf cluttered front yard so I carefully raked, swept, and finally vacuumed up the leaves and tree droppings. At least we'd have sometime being the cleanest from yard. The next morning, you couldn't tell our front yard from that of our neighbors'.
In the back yard, it's the same story. You have a tree that has dumped so many leaves on the ground that you just know it needs to be raked up. Then I look at the tree and can't see a dent in the leaves that are still scheduled to fall. I think I'll wait a few days longer.
Our other large backyard tree is turning into a veritable rainbow from deep rich redss, to lively yellows, and provocative oranges. Its as if the tree is trying to tell us that if it has to die back, it'll do so in a flash of glory.
