Autumn Leaves & Trees

2013 November 12
by Mike Vial

The sugar maple in my front yard has dropped all of its leaves. The tree in my backyard still has 40-60% of its silver maple foliage. Both trees will gracefully face winter, but the backyard tree needs a little more time.

Autumn days raking leaves is a great time to reflect about relationships, friends, jobs, art, family and life. Today, I wondered to myself, “Are you more like the front tree or backyard silver maple?”

PS: I love that my city of Ann Arbor does a tree inventories.
