Got Leaves?

I love my trees. We have marvelous, huge maples and mighty oaks in our front yard. This summer they provided nice cool shade. Now, they’ve provided a blanket for winter that is three inches deep—with leaves. Egads. Where did the grass go? Only one thing to do with that many leaves; call in an expert. Who ya gonna call? Leaf Busters! We just couldn’t face all that raking, so two days ago we had our front yard “blown” of leaves. Here are a few scenes.

Hey, where did they go? They were there a minute ago! Look closely and you can barely see them behind the wall of flying leaves.

The leaf wave starts to make its way across the front yard.

Fall. You just gotta love it!

About

Welcome, I'm Lynne. You know me better as a 'new' Jersey Girl. But now I've moved once again, this time to North Carolina. Here I write about my thoughts, good food, and of course, dogs.
