We have been quiet for a while, but that is because we have been busy.
Our property contains a large number of mighty oaks, and the mighty oaks make a mighty huge bunch of leaves in the fall. So we have been busy moving all those leaves into the compost area so that they can Rot In Pieces (RIP).
DG was chomping at the bit to go out and do battle with the leaves, but when he got out there, the situation seemed more intimidating than he had imagined.
He gave it his best shot, but in the end, I think he might have surrendered.
