[Leica] American Landscape

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey at mchsi.com)]

Hi Jim,

Yes, ours also come in waves, but I just let them fall and then when it is 
all, or mostly over, I get out there and rake/blow them up and then run the 
mowing tractor over them to mulch it all up into tiny pieces which then 
decompose back into the grass/weeds that is my yard (1.4 acres).  What falls 
from now on will just have to wait until next year, when it all dries out, 
and the new mowing season starts.  The Tractor gets converted for snow this 
week.

Cheers,
Gene

Hi Gene,

Ours seem to come in batches.  We have cleaned them up twice, but the winds 
with yesterday's frontal passage brought down a fresh load.  And most of 
these came from the trees of neighbors. :~(
