It's fall in da Garden

ck....."It's fall in da garden. And wif fall comes falling leaves. Lots of leaves that like to make natural mosaics where da lawn once grew. We decided to do a public service announcement because it's come to our attention that some beans are confused and are breaking da law."



ck...."It is against da law to rake up leaves. No it's not an old Ozarkian law, but rather a Japanese law. We fink dat it must be a good law cuz we've never seen an ugly Japanese Garden. So remember if anyone says something about all da leaves lying around in your yard, You just go ahead and tell them."


IT'S AGAINST DA LAW TO RAKE UP LEAVES!



PS...CK...."There is one exception to the leaf law. It's ok for grandma and grampa beans to rake up a small pile of leaves for da entertainment of their grandchildren."

Yup, our mum too. We like it when she rakes the leaves though, cuz it is fun to dive bomb the piles and scat them all over the place.

We don't have to worry about that law 'cause we don't have leaves to rake!! We think it's a good law though!!

That's a beautiful mosaic of the kitty in the leaves!

The only problem if you have too many leaves and you don't rake them up, is they can kill the grass. That happened to us last year when Daddy got lazy a left a whole pile of leaves in the back yard.

They are very beautiful, though, and in principle I agree with the Japanese. A few leave on the ground will only act as fertilizer as they decay.

Maybe my mom and dad need to rake up leaves in the dark so they don't get caught and arrested! I have instructed them that they must deal with the leaves because they need to mulch them to put on all our garden beds for the winter...our leaves have a job to do and I'm just the cat to make sure they do it!
