I have a unique attitude toward "autumn leaves!!" I figger that God put them
in my
yard...and if He wants them raked up and properly recycled...well, that's
HIS
job, not mine! Leaves have been falling from deciduous trees for about a
million
years, give or take...and for about 999,900 or so years, NOBODY raked them
up...?! I'll let my handful of leaves go and do wotever their freakin'
ancestors
did for the 999 +/- millennia that preceded my arrival in "suburbia
north"...?!
Comment ca va?!
