Five Bags

I spied five bags of fallen leaves sitting beside the curb -- five bags of finely mulched oak leaves, ground into a virtual powder. I spied them from the car. I spied them from my bike. And eventually Ben and I went down there with a wheel barrow and brought those five bags home.

The five of them filled the compost pile, filled it with the fine, powdery stuff of leaves. And in spite of the chill in the air, by this afternoon the pile was beginning to get warm.

I spied five bags of fallen leaves, and it kind of made the weekend worthwhile.
