Autumn Leaves by gardenfolk

Autumn Leaves

Float down like
autumn leaves
and hush now
close your eyes
before the sleep.
...Ed Sheeran

We have so many leaves that have fallen from the maple trees. You can barely see the grass beneath them all.

To rake or not to rake? That is the question. See below for the answer…

Bye bye November.
Nice on Black.

Oh my time to rake. They are such a lovely color.

Our next door neighbour has a truly massive ginkgo tree in her front garden, and every year without fail, we get a storm coming in from the west, with 90mph winds, just as it decides to let go of all it's leaves at once. We always get every single leaf dumped in our front garden. Not a single one lands in hers. I suppose we shouldn't complain as the huge tree in our front garden dumps it's load on the driveway of the house on the other side. :)

@swillinbillyflynn That made me smile. We have the same problem with a neighbours tree. Never lands their side!

Pretty leaves, CC.

@shutterbug49 My husband bought a new electric lawn mower, trimmer and blower. I talked him into mowing over the leaves and to leave some debris on the lawn. But, he would prefer to take them all up and be done. :)
