So we've got this mutant maple tree in our backyard that will not drop it's leaves. Yes, that's right. It is Dec. 9, there is 3 inches of snow on the ground, and this maple still has green leaves. You can't tell from this picture, but it is worth noting that there is not a single other three visible from the top of the hill in town (my office) that still has leaves - let alone green leaves!
The real question is, of course, how I'm going to rake leaves over the snow...
