The Neighbors Maple Tree

While we are for sure blessed with the cherries and the raspberries that came on over into our backyard from our neighbors yard we also get to deal with the many leaves in the Fall from our neighbors maple tree and now it's many seed pods that have been falling for the last week and a half or so.

I've been raking them up for the last two days. I noticed that there are still plenty more left up in the tree so I thought I'd wait till it looks like they are almost all done falling before I rake anymore.

I can't really complain though cause it always looks so nice in my garden area after it has been raked.

Ya know, we're still blessed, ause just look at that tree. Who cares about all the raking that needs to be done when we have that to look at. If that tree was every chopped down it would just change everything back there. What a sad thought. Don't think that will happen anytime soon though.:)
