“Dear sirs. I am 70 years old and able to rake my leaves and burn them in a small pile. I stand there as they burn. All my near neighbors have said it is OK with them. I have serious back pain when I try to bend and bag leaves. I can't do it without pain. I want to keep my property neat and looking nice. I can't really afford $45 to have someone rake and bag them. A lot of people are allergic to tree mold — what next, do we limit the number of trees in each yard? Hoping to burn.”
Mary Williams
“How clever you are, my dear! You never mean a single word you say.”
Oscar Wilde
