I know Autumn is on its way when this big sucker loses thousands of leave across our deck. As the tree is situated in the middle of our deck, the leaves blow through the back door whenever it’s left open (always) and it’s windy and wet (often in Canberra), pooling in every spot they can, sticking to shoes and making me slip over on the tiles. It’s lucky my Buddy loves sweeping, and SO has a blower.

I took this snap and just realised its green and gold. How very Aussie. Oi.

What does one do with millions of leaves? Compost?
