We’re Back
Apologies to our loyal readers for the break we took over the past Thanksgiving week. Personally I had five days of real work packed into two and a half days, then we had thirty family members to visit and two Thanksgivings meals to attend and leaves to rake and Christmas decorations to put up and roofs to climb and lights to hang. Come to think of it, I need another week off.
So since you did not have an Open Thread for some time, have this one….
I never rake leaves! When we lived in Virginia, and I had this huge red maple which looked great, but dropped a million leaves, I said to myself, “Self, what would happen if you ran over the leaves with the mulching lawn mower?” So, I tried it, and the leaves just flat disappeared!
The leaves do have to be dry when you mulch them.
“Blah, blah blah…I’m an idiot.”
I collect as many leaves as I can for the compost pile. The ones I don’t use now will fuel the pile next summer.
