Constant

I've been reminded this weekend that another way to say "evergreen" is "constantly deciduous." I'm glad that our eucalyptus, pine and oleanders don't go bare in the winter (if the oleanders did, we'd have no privacy at all). But that means that they're dropping leaves and producing new ones all year long. As of tonight we have a lot fewer of those leaves on the ground, but it took hours and hours and there are still some we haven't gotten to yet.
