Mulching Fallen Leaves Like Trump Votes [View all]
The giant Silver Maple tree in our front yard is finally almost empty of leaves. It is the last tree in our neighborhood to shed its leaves in the Fall. So, this morning, after my morning snack and coffee, I'm going to go out and mow the yard and driveway in a very specific pattern designed to mulch all those leaves into tiny particles with the least number of mower passes. Those particles will rot over the Winter and fertilize my lawn next Spring.
My neighbors have watched me deal with the vast number of leaves that way for 16 years now. I'm very pleased to see that almost all of them are now doing as I do, instead of raking their leaves, bagging them, and then paying to have them hauled away.
This year, I will be thinking of each leaf that is demolished into shreds by my mower as votes for Donald J. Trump. I will mow carefully around my yard signs for Biden and other Democratic candidates, turning every last leaf that symbolizes a vote for Trump into beneficial dust. May they rot well and contribute to a green lawn next Spring after the snow melts and the ground thaws.
That's my plan for this morning, two days before election day.
