Leaves in the wind make me feel guilty

Tweet

On my front lawn there are five large trees. Five large trees with lots and lots of leaves. And those leaves don't fall all at once - each one drifts to the ground in its own good time. What that means is that no matter how often I remove leaves from the lawn, within a day they seem to be knee deep once again. Then the wind blows, as it did today. Now my leaves have become neighborhood property as the wind distributes them all around, especially to those yards that don't have their own trees. I can imagine how galling it must be to some of my neighbors to have to deal with leaves from trees whose shade they never get to enjoy. That's why I feel guilty when the wind distributes my bounty of leaves to the whole neighborhood.
