Not good for the grass to keep leaves on it. They need all the light
they can get for a healthy summer lawn next year. Pile the leaves on
the compost pile or in your vegetable garden. This is a good time to
clean and sharpen all your garden tools.

I started to rake the leaves from my yard yesterday when I noticed that the
trees were still about half full of leaves ready to fall.

None of my neighbors have raked the leaves from their lawn and since I live
on the end of a cul-de-sac, I will get most of their autumn junk in a few
weeks anyway.

I figure about the first of January the trees will be bare and most of my
neighbor's leaves will be in my yard.

Put the tools away and spent the rest of the day listening to Christmas
carols and enjoying dozing in front of the fireplace.

January will be here soon enough.
