October 29: Leaf crunch
Oct. 30th, 2010 10:03 amI drove to the farm and arrived in the early evening, about an hour before dark. To my delight, I found the yard covered with thick, crunchy oak leaves along with black walnuts on the east side, persimmons and wickedly spiny Chinese chestnuts in the middle, and pecans and best of all sycamore leaves at the lower west side. I wish I could share the smell of sycamore leaves as a multimedia file! That is what potpourri should be made of.
