State of the trees


This is how the street looked this foggy dreary morning. I'd estimate that 3/4 of the leaves have dropped now. I love cities with lots of street trees - but it makes a lot of work. Decades ago, it was fun for neighbors to gather outside and burn their leaf piles while visiting back and forth. Sharing cups of hot chocolate or other beverages. Mothers bringing out cookies. Dogs and kids on the street kicking up leaves and rolling around in them. Remember this?
