Tempered by my having to remove fall color from my lawn

Mine just blow away... nyaaa, nyaaa.

Chinese chestnuts and a magnolia are my problem trees. Big leaves that
have to be removed or mulched. Dogwoods and the like have small leaves
which are not a problem. I live on a hill and most blow down hill but
not these.

Magnolia is a particular PITA as in the spring when flowers come down
they too must be removed or they smother the lawn. Chestnuts have those
thorny husks. Fortunately in back yard, I can leave most. Wish I had
known these things when I planted them.
