Experts say raking and removing leaves can be worse for your yard – and for the planet, too.
Leaving at least some of the leaves in your yard can help fertilize your grass and other plants, provide shelter for animals and even reduce emissions from landfills.
According to a naturalist at the National Wildlife Federation says fallen leaves can serve as a natural fertilizer for plants. “The leaves fall around the root zone of these plants, where they do things like suppressing weeds or other plants from growing that that would otherwise compete with the trees and the shrubs,” he said.
“They slowly break down and compost right there at the base of the of the tree of the shrub, right above its root zone, where they return nutrients that the plant can then recycle and reuse next spring."
Mowing them is even better!
If the leaves on your lawn are forming a mat over your grass, experts agree that you can move them just place leaves in garden beds or raking them into a bigger pile and letting them “naturally compost there and break down.”

Sunday, and a great morning to relax and have a cup of coffee. Unless you're a Gen Z adult. It seems coffee is becoming less and less popular. 63% say they never drink it. In comparison, 33% of Millennials, 34% of Gen Xers, and 29% of Baby Boomers never drink coffee.
Of those Zers that do, only 6% said they have more than one or two cups a day. And the really wired other adults drink at seven cups a day (only 2% thankfully)

Florida Man alert!!!!
Cops in Titusville, Florida were out on patrol around 2:00 A.M. last Thursday when they spotted a fairly large fire in the middle of the road.
The flames were four feet high, and the fire was right in front of a guy's house. So they figured he had something to do with it especially because he was out drinking on his porch and holding a sword for some reason.
The guy's name is Scott Taylor, and he's 37. According to the cops, he kept drinking as they talked to him and started chugging from a half-gallon of Captain Morgan.
He eventually agreed to drop the sword, and also a knife that was in his waistband. But he couldn't explain why he started the fire, or was too drunk to remember.
Once they got him to jail, he intentionally broke a sprinkler and flooded his holding cell. He's facing charges for reckless burning of lands, and felony criminal mischief.

When I was a kid and visited my Grandmother, I got to see Bozo The Clown. Well, David Arquette has bought the rights, and it seems he has plans. He says, quote, "You have to kind of think of it as 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse'."
"At one point there were 200 Bozos throughout America and Mexico and Brazil, so we really want to sort of replicate that.
