Still hanging on up there

'Twas a beautiful day ... perhaps the last beautiful day of the year. I knew I had to take advantage of it, so I embarked on a mow-n'-rake. Took about two hours or so, but I got about 90% of the leaves. It felt good getting it accomplished.

But one look up into our trees afterward was almost enough to quash that feeling of joy. There are bags of leaves yet to fall.
