Indeed this is what I am contemplating now as I mulch the leaves and add them to the beds! Gail

Your pictures are poetry.

Thank you, Shauna — what a lovely thing to say. These photos remind me of the places I used to love to play as a kid. I always imagined them somewhat magical. :)

Are they birch trees, Nancy? The white bark is lovely, too.

I like that philosophy and will try very hard to keep it in mind while I’m cleaning up the leaves today.

What wonderful trees — I’m thinking they’re paper birch or a northerly birch?

Lovely.
