Eller som en granne säger när vi träffas vid trädgårdskräpavstjälpningsplatsen: "Fy f-n vad jag hatar lönnar...!"
Fast onekligen vackra i sina höstfärger.
Maple leaves from the sand box at Grundvik
Maple leaves are beautiful to look at. Canada's national symbol. Pure plague to rake up in the falls, and the tree reproduces blazing fast. If you don't look up, if you live next door to the maples you'll have your plot full of mini versions of maples.
Or, as one neighbor says when we meet at the garden debris landfill, "Oh, bloody h-ll how I hate maples ...!"
Though undeniably beautiful in their autumn colors.
