But they ae largely being blasted off the boughs. Elm seem to be the best colour this year the few that survived Dutch Elm Disease.

Years ago I found it amusing when I saw a grounds man shake his fist skywards as he was raking leaves in a Welsh wind.

They call it lurking, and it’s the perfect word for it.<BR/>It’s funny you mention the leaves, because up here a lot of trees didn’t go through the nice changing colours bit, but have sort of shrivelled and gone blackish and then fallen or just stayed stuck, which is odd. We did have a long good summer so the poor things probably don’t know where they are.<BR/><BR/>It could've been Shaw, which just shows what a plagerist the old beardy must have been.Dr Maroonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639939963726199699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-1162379109671534302006-11-01T11:05:00.000+00:002006-11-01T11:05:00.000+00:00Polly: composting is good.

You are completely right of course and I am an idiot. I'm preaently browsing a dictionary of quotations- which is one of my more pleasant occupations, and Shakespeare is on page 286 and Shaw at the bottom of page 287 which is no excuse at all. I've read enough of both to know the difference. Let's see if anyone else spots it. Tee!

No leaves. Raking them up is not a task I miss. even if, sometimes, I miss real autumns. And, sorry Pat - that ain't GBS - it's a Shakespeare sonnet. Sorry to be pedantic - but this one kind of is my job... and "bare ruined choirs" is a phrase has always eaten into my heart. It makes me think of certain, ruined people I once knew.granny phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10208296185844897146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-1162376290615304622006-11-01T10:18:00.000+00:002006-11-01T10:18:00.000+00:00Not many of our leaves have fallen yet, though I e...Not many of our leaves have fallen yet, though I expect the temperature drop this morning will speed things along. Also, we have one of those garden vacs that the husband uses 'cause it's pretty heavy, so I'll have to think of something else for a choc treat. I do compost all the leaves into leaf-mould though which is lovely stuff to dig into the garden.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
