Maybe there's someone in your neighborhood who would like them?

As would most serious, environmentally conscious gardeners. Could you offer them on Freecycle or Craig's list? I know that involves some work on your part, but what a gift you could give by sharing those leaves!

Eva Cassidy was a treasure. A voice of an angel that sings on. When I was out taking autumn pictures, I was listening to this song when I captured photographs.

I could hear her in the photo, too.

And yes, treasure’s the word for her... Fields of Gold (one of my all time faves of hers) could be another autumn photo theme, another where her soul shines...
