Please note the date on this reply! I still have leaves in the back yard - tons of them (this in spite of a compost pile) - b/c the snow came so early and I got lazy. I do appreciate the offer, but know that everyone who lives here is constantly busy with yard work of one kind or another. Trees are messy, but love the shelter they provide to the birds. The birds are wonderful this year. Please, everyone, keep your cats in the house!! Can't do anything about the hawks who also troll for birds, but we should try to keep the trolling to a minimum. Thanks
