Leaves that be

November 16th, 2006 1:29:16 pm pst by Sterling Camden

Besides all the evergreens on our property, we have two large maples on either side of our driveway. They’ve both just about finished dumping their leaves for the year. With all the rainy weather we’ve had we haven’t had a chance to rake any of them, and in places they’ve drifted as much as six inches deep.

As my son and I were waiting for the bus this morning, I commented that we’ll need to rake them up soon.

He replied, “No, just wait until December when the wind will blow them all back onto the trees.”

I suspect he may be a little confused on the deciduous cycle, but I’m willing to give it a try.
