Drabble by Kevin Fagan for October 03, 2024

A fake tree appeared on The Simpsons some years back. I think it was the episode where Lisa went to college, and met her English boyfriend.

Where I live I get some leaves but mostly spanish moss. I got a lot blown off the trees last weekend. I have a big pile of it and I love to burn it!

That trashcan looks really slender for its height, and the rake is a childs rake, missing lots of tines. Also, they have no gutter on the house. On the flip side, he’s doing it with no leaves on the ground.

Fake plastic trees?

And fake children too.

There’s your million dollar idea Norman!

Yesterday morning, I blew the acorns, leaves and pine cones out into the street for the sweeper. By the evening dog walk, it was covered again.

We gave up raking 20 years ago. Let the leaves decompose and enrich the soil.

The leaves are beginning to turn here, but the only trees we have that turn a pleasant color are the honey locusts.
