This weekend I completed taking care of a chore I do not like—removing fallen leaves. I don't rake, I use my John Deere lawn tractor to "mow them in" the lawn. Some say leaves so mulched create problems, but not for me. Saves physical effort and that's my objective. Anyway, my JD has been serviced and placed in temporary storage for the Winter. Any leaves that enter my territory will have to be removed by prevailing winds or not at all.
After I completed my work, I grabbed my camera and wandered about the yard. Spotted this little patch of "color" and shot a close-up view. Nice way to finish work for the day.
