This year’s November winds may have dislodged more oak leaves than normal for this time of the season, but some of the mighty oak leaves are still hanging on as December approaches.

This afternoon I was trying to mulch up some of the leaves which were piling up too deep, but I didn’t get all the leaves, especially the recent falling oak leaves, before the snow moved in this evening.

The strong winds ahead of the snow storm caused pine cones and some remaining oak leaves to fall. Although the fallen oak leaves on the snow were brown compared to autumn when they first started to turn colors.

There might be some oak leaves still clinging onto the branches even after all the windy days, but they are just a dull brown color now with no hint of red and definitely no green leaves left as a backdrop as the mostly bare trees brace for another winter season.
