Oak Leaf Drop

It's that time of year when the oak trees drop their leaves.  It's a mess for the next few weeks.  I always know that mid March will mean raking the yard.  Now that we are down to just two patches of grass, it's not so monumental.  The worst part is the leaves are everywhere and tracking the mess into the house.  The deck and front entrance are just covered with leaves. Our poor vehicles are covered too.   But....oak leaves make great mulch and are a great addition to the compost bin.

It's been over two months since we have had a significant rain.  With any luck we should have measurable precipitation this weekend.  The drought continues.
