A good majority of the leaves have fallen from the deciduous trees and have gathered on the ground. There has been a reprieve from the fall rains. These fallen leaves, once colorful and pliable, have turned brown, papery, and very dry.
Annual Leaf Crunch Time is here!
Now, I go out into the yard or walk along the wooded farm lane scuffling my feet through every pile of downed and brown leaves. Crunch, crunch, crunch....I love the sound that is only possible when the conditions are right (dry) and the season (autumn) is on the back side. There has to be plenty of piled leaves, otherwise; the effect is not the same, not as satisfying. And, like being a kid again.
Autumn is just not complete unless I have at least one - the more, the better - leaf crunch days. And, the more feet, the better the crunch! Now, where did Glenn go????
I will walk out of my way just to crunch more leaves - got to take advantage of the season....
Never go crunching? Try it...you will end up with a wide smile on your face. Are you having fun yet?
