the silver lining is dried leaves

The front yard has been less than picturesque these months. The jolly juniper trees were pruned down in early winter and the fresh leaves/needles were just left out on the grass to be dried. So, together with the compost wheelie bin, this patch was looking like a bit of an abandoned junkyard. 

The blazing summer sun has made its way back here now, and with the strong winds a few days ago, the leaves are pretty much all dry.

I'll rake up the leaves and twigs, and change up the compost bin system a bit, and maybe soon, the front yard will look a bit more welcoming.
