lost leaves

I am taking any volunteers who want to come rake the back yard. Believe it or not I actually raked them sort of, on Saturday. there are some trees down the street that have lost all their leaves, it was windy ( well that s a gentle breeze to everyone else) on Saturday. the trees strait cross the street are just a blaze of colour. but generally the best of the colour has passed. the more wind we have the sooner we get bare trees. today is equinox 12 hours of daylight for everyone. ( happy birthday Dad)

this photo from accross the road will show up later, when i go looking for daylight in january. for the sun will rise on the left of this house and set on the right. The amount of leaves that are on the trees still in January affects the amount of sunlight that I get. More important than you realise sometimes.
