I live on a dead end street, and the whole length is lined with huge oak trees and various other types. anyway when the leaves start to fall, on a windy day its like driving through a tunnel of foliage. very cool and a little spooky on a dreary day. but raking all those leaves up is not fun at all! (at least til i set em all on fire!) anyway we've had a ton of rain this summer so everything is still lush and green...(sigh) i prefer the pretty fall leaves.
