Leafed out (or under)

Almost all the remaining leaves on the large trees around the barns and house seem to have let go and fallen to the ground over the last 24 hours or so. We are buried knee deep in places. Because today looked to be the last sunny and reasonably temperate day for who knows how long, Gary went up and swept the leaves and debris off the house roof. There was a lot of it. Then I raked as much as I could well away from the house, leaving our front and back wooden decks pretty clear and getting most of the leaves out of the dog run. The wind will bring some back, but not as many as were in those places.
Addendum to yesterday's FedEx rant: Package with Archie's blanket in it, which was promised for delivery first on Friday and did not come, then re-promised for delivery today (Sunday? Right!) again did not come. FedEx tracking again shows that the delivery is "unscheduled." In other words, they don't know what they did with the package. It's too large to accidentally get lost, about 1x1x2 feet in size, sturdy corrugated cardboard. I'm sure it will show up eventually, and equally sure that FedEx will not apologize for their incompetence and dishonesty.
