Leave the Leaves
In the Midwestern US, it is autumn currently, and the way humanity accelerates the climate's collapse ever-more-rapidly toward our global apocalyptic demise, we may not have a lot of autumns left. The trees that are still alive are shedding beautiful golden, red, amber, and brown leaves all over the ground.
Did you know that you can simply...not rake the leaves? You don't have to. You can just leave the leaves on your lawn. The USDA even says so! (I know they're corrupt in loads of ways, but they got this one right!) You're not a 17th-century British or European aristocrat, no matter how much you wish you were one, nor how much you dress up like one all the time. You're just not. You don't need a lawn. And even if you cleave to your lawn for your...dirt-occupation-identity...?...the leaves, or "leafs" as some people call them whilst yelling about them, are good for nutrients, insects and wildlife that improve the soil and plants in your yard.
So just leave the leaves. You're so stressed out. Just let it go.
The world is on fire. Take the time and energy you would waste raking leaves and use it to pressure your elected officials to serve citizens instead of hopping in bed with billionaires, or run for office yourself, or get to know your neighbors and develop mutual-aid connections your whole community will need when we don't even have autumns anymore.
And consider enjoying the pretty leaves all over the place while we still have them.
Tony the Cat is OK!
This past Sunday, Tony the Cat (we have TWO cats; Angelo is but ONE of them) gave us quite a turn! We had to rush him to an emergency veterinary clinic for his very first UTI. The doctors and staff at Frontier Veterinary Urgent Care in nearby Greenfield, WI were the absolute best and the sweetest and kindest, and they took great care of Tony, who is back to his gentlemanly, 16-year-old self again - even now, he is sitting behind me, with his paw on my shoulder, one claw gently extended into my flesh, begging for supper, which he is not getting for another hour yet, sorry, buddy.
