    We had some heavy rain last night, about an inch. I looked out at the big oak tree and it pooped all of it's leaves down on the yard in one night! Once it dries out, I will have to mulch them up. But it should be the last time for this year out there.

    I just came in from mulching them up. They actually mulched up easier being damp than they do dry. An definately not as dusty!

    Another job under your belt CK. Next you'll have to do the same with that maple of yours I dare say.

    I will still have a litttle more mulching to do in other parts of the yard. The maple still has to drop and up in the driveway there are some hickorys that haven't dropped yet.

    I wish ours would drop faster from all of our trees. Some of the Maples have 1/2 of their leaves left and the lilacs have plenty left yet. I did notice the other day that even wet, they mulched just fine.
