there's an orgy of leaf blowing at this very moment.
tho, at least today, it makes sense. almost all
of the leaves are down and now seems the
appropriate time to clean out the gutters ONCE and
to clear the yards and the bushes of a good 4 inches of
oak and maple leaves. i'm praying that after today the leafblowers
will be stored away in sheds and garages for the winter.

me, i'm roasting a chicken. ; )
