The OP is taking "moaning about the weather" a bit to the extreme, now it's "moaning about the season" :unsure: :laugh:

Well until yesterday not that many leaves had fallen, but it's about to get to the point when I'll do some raking every weekend, mostly a cherry tree, 3 magnolia, wisteria and an apple tree. And the ones that blow in from neighbouring gardens.

I don't have a major issue with clearing them up, but I hate them where I'm cycling, I've come off the bike before on them. My commute includes 4 miles on a cycle path which is lined with trees. And it seems that different parts of it are maintained by more than one person. The middle section I regularly meet a little vehicle that sweeps the paths, but not the sections either side.

Oh a cherry tree with the leaves turning red is just one of the most stunning things. There are lots round our way (garden of England!) - I had to drive to Tunbridge Wells yesterday and kept seeing them, fabulous.

Ours hasn't, nor has it dropped many leaves.... I've been wondering if it isn't well. But I also have some small maples which are turning lovely colours!
