Who knew a simple objective would yield such a mess.
Objective: rake out the flower bed.
Result: 5’ x 4’ x 2’ pile of leaves.
I wish I’d taken a picture; however, please enjoy this rendering I doodled:
Spring has sprung but if I didn’t know better… I’d say it’s still autumn at our house.
Here’s something you may have not known:
Snow is nature’s way of preserving frail fallen leaves.
Natural selection is a fluke, I swear.
Just kidding, Charlie.
If you don’t rake your leaves before the first big snow, you’ll be seeing those appendages of your arboretum come Spring.
There’s a lesson there.
Somewhere.
(Probably under the pile of leaves.)
