We have three trees in our front yard; I've been waiting for the basswood to drop their leaves before I bother to rake. It's a small yard and I'm lazy. Well, I woke up this morning at 3:30 and couldn't get back to sleep, so I've been sitting in the living room listening to the rather strong wind raging outside. I just took a peek and not only are the basswoods' leaves mostly gone, the front yard has been swept clean by the wind. Now they're Somebody Else's Problem. Sweet! :)
I just hope that my being pleased about this doesn't mean that I'll step outside to find that a tree has fallen on our garage.
