Fall Already!

It is that time of the year; the time of the year when all the trees change beautiful colors.  All the trees but ours!

For some reason I don't understand the three huge trees on our property decide to hold onto their leaves until about a week before the first good snow fall of the winter.

Then those blasted trees pretty much lose all their leaves at once leaving us about a week to rake waist deep piles of leaves to the curb in hopes of making the last city leaf pick up of the season.

Sometimes it works out that the city is running behind.  Other times the leaves remain until the first snow plow comes through and shoves them and the snow back up into our yard.

The other day I was standing in the driveway with my husband when he pointed out that if you look through our back yard you can see our green and brown trees frames is bright flaming yellow, orange and red.

While it would be a beautiful picture it just makes me mad.

Leaves would you just fall already!
