Outdoors

At what point do the leaves win? I'm wondering how many more times will I have to go out and round up more of the little crispy critters.

Since winter slipped in on us last week, (December 21) I figured it might be a good idea to make sure you're prepared for the next few months of what we could see in Missouri.

We got a little skiff of snow overnight Tuesday into Wednesday. There were a few minor problems from it. You know at some point we we'll see more of the white stuff. I mean, c'mon...it's Missouri. I'm just glad we're not getting slammed with the snow storm that's on the east coast.

So with the nice weather we had on Thursday I decided to take care of some more leaves. I knew we probably wouldn't see temperatures in the mid/upper 60's for a while. (but again this is Missouri!) I first had to dump about nine bags that I had taken care of earlier in the week...

We see the changing of leaves late in the summer and, of course, as fall arrives we see many more changes in those leaf colors. Eventually they start falling off the trees. Who makes the executive decision of the leaves detaching themselves from the tree?
