Yes, Brenda. I also received that impression when I viewed this on my blog the first time after scheduling the post a couple of weeks earlier. Great minds, eh?
Beech leaves are unusual among deciduous trees; they often last through the entire winter and only fall as the new buds begin to open. I think the trees use their old leaves as protective ‘parents’ for their new infant leaves! Isn’t nature wonderful?
Good One.

It is good that you hung out your leaves to dry! It’s time to take them in. Couldn’t help that this was the first impression I got! LOL

We don’t have beech trees in western Canada. Too bad, as I would love to hear that!

We have a beech hedge and, on dry days, the leaves make the most marvellous light rattling sound as the wind rustles through them.
