Leaf

I am sick of bloody leaves. I have raked and bagged and raked again. They are a fire risk, so I am out in our half acre every day filling huge 295 litre leaf sacks, which Alchemist takes to the tip at the weekends. The Shire (council) then shred the leaves and local residents buy the mulch to spread on their gardens!

I have lost my Zen and the art of garden maintenance, but did notice this leaf. I was merciful and let it stay.

Beautiful photograph. Just wondering what the background is.

AP the background is next door's old corrugated fence.

I think you're entitled. The fire would be very small.

But consider the excellent exercise!

You must buy back the leaf mulch?

I have been away a long time. Have been catching up - it's as peaceful here as ever.

see, I love sweeping and raking, maybe not a 1/2 acre, but it does feel zen.
