The only reason I try to keep them off the grass, is that all the gardening programmes say that, if left on the grass too long, it can ruin it!Southhamsdarlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285980805569582676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-19783962454473354972010-11-07T18:44:30.844+00:002010-11-07T18:44:30.844+00:00But the photos are so beautiful!

And snow is starting to fall so they will all be covered up anyways! :)Jumble Mashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16227122209859233059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-33117950012001352572010-11-07T17:51:21.295+00:002010-11-07T17:51:21.295+00:00Oh my goodness Too = that must have been pretty fr...Oh my goodness Too = that must have been pretty frightening all round!!

Pooldad works [and has for 33 years] in the swimming pool business and this time of year it is horrendous because all the leaves are dropping and people, inevitably, call and whine "My pool is fulllll of leaaaaves, can you come round to clean it today?" Well yes if he didn't have his guys going to the 96 other pools that are full of leaves. Go grab your net and start scooping. We'll be out a week from Friday. Gah.<br /><br />They are pretty tho' - I do have to say I love fall for all the colors.<br /><br />Would love to see more pics of the garden when spring rolls around. I cannot garden to save my life - I kill everything - so I live vicariously through talented people such as yourself. heeSkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-64028929892308778012010-11-07T14:32:58.440+00:002010-11-07T14:32:58.440+00:00This made me think of Doris and John.

Except leaves. He hated them. His saying was "The Lord Giveth and the Lord can Taketh Away. This reminded me of him.
