Falling leaves

Have the tree leaves fallen at your place yet? If so, have you began raking yet (if this question is applicable to you?)

Thankfully not yet.

No, and I ain't raking nothing even when it does fall.

They have started to fall just a little bit. My gardener takes care of the fall leaves and clean up.

They've started, my mother was out raking them today.

Everything is still pretty green around here. The trees should be bare by next week.

There's some leaves here and there, but I've cut down most of my trees to reduce the leaf volume. Problem is, is that the ones bordering my property that aren't mine to cut down, still drop their loads into my yard, so I have to clean it up anyway.

I've always wondered why, if we can create de-foliating chemicals like Agent Orange, why can't we create the reverse of things like that and make a spray to blast the trees with, so the leaves will never drop, thus eliminating the need for a rake?

Not yet, and I don't rake.

They're starting to change colors, but haven't fallen to the ground too hard yet.

Still pretty green here. When the leaves fall off my one tree, they blow into the neighbor's yard because the backyard gets so windy here. So no work for me!

I trotted out my leaf blower yesterday. They were everywhere.
