My part of Wisconsin had that with the Magnolia trees this season. Absolutely spectacular!

However, the Maple trees have decided that THIS is the year to produce 70-gazillion ‘propellers’ to drop on anything and everything. Haven’t seen them produce so many seeds in about a decade.

The front gutter is FULL to the brim, but our foster son is on the scaffolding painting the house, so he said he’d clean that out as long as he was up there, anyway. Yay! :)

Maple seeds in gutters.

The people across the street have small forests of maples growing in their gutters. I will say that its much easier to pull out an intact maple forest mat than having to hand scoop out a gutter full of composted oak leaf muck!

Argh! We got those too. Any fuzz-threads from the oak trees, HUGE TUMBLEWEED-SIZED BALLS of them.

Trees and bushes are overdoing it on seeds and flowers this year. The last time I saw that happen, the winter that followed it was brutal.
