Meanwhile the trees are changing colors and dropping leaves as soon as they're not green

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Happy Autumn !!

[Kitalpha Hart]

Happy leaf go sploot season

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Exactly what it is, isn't it !?

[Kitalpha Hart]

Yup

And it rained. With leaves on the road
Shit's as bad as ice, if not worse

[Gingerale]

oh that is scary, wet leaves isn't something I really think about but makes sense.

[Kitalpha Hart]

And that's why they're potentially worse than ice
People know and look out for ice
Leaves not so much

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I have had to catch myself falling more than a few times on slippery leaves, not a fun experience.. a good way to wrench the back or sprain an ankle.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Fortunately for me, the way the wind blows, the leaves i get to walk over are primarily pine needles
All the leafy ones are further down and/or other side

[Gingerale]

If pine needles are falling does it mean they have a disease?

[Kitalpha Hart]

Needles get shed too
Just nowhere near the caliber of leaves
Except in my yard cuz if all the pines. Several are dying of old age so I do need to replace them though

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Free firewood when you cut down your trees??

[Kitalpha Hart]

The dead apple on the one side? Maybe
The pines? Not good firewood in general, it needs to season for many years and even then better to not use it inside

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I did not know that about pine. I thought (assumed) most firewood was pine.

Is that because of sap?

Oh, does apple wood smell good to burn? I have heard of people Barbequing using apple wood.

I know Oak burns long. What wood do you usually get for firewood?

[Kitalpha Hart]

Naur

Sap, moisture content, wood type

I don't really have a sense of smell so I'm not the one to ask. Wood chips v coal v other grilling things do have an effect on the flavor of the food. Same as smoking

Oak, maple, cherry, mostly hardwoods
