Hello
What I have seen of fall this yr. while walking around my small Vt. city & driving to solid waste drop-off center is spectacular. Maple leaves don't all stop producing chlorophyll at same time so foliage occurs in stages. Trees on my property are late bloomers. Leaves are gradually changing colors & still cling to trees.
Today I raked enough leaves near busy street & on sidewalk to fill two trash cans. (They fell from a neighbor's tree.) I dumped leaves in compost pile. Several times this yr. I've mowed leaves for mulch.
This yr. I've bought a few buttercup squashes & a pie pumpkin. Always I roast the seeds. They provide protein.
I like pumpkins because they are handsome & edible.
Bye
