One of the joys of the Live Oak trees of Central Texas is that they stay leafy green all winter. Then, come late February-early March, in other words the end of our winter, all those green leaves turn brown and fall on the ground. So we get to rake and vacuum leaves twice a year, at a minimum. That’s what I did this morning, finishing up in time to shower and go pick Mr. B. up from school. Of course, being the beginning of our spring, the other trees are starting to tassel. So we’ll have that mess to clean up soon enough.
