Dogs of C-Kennel by Mick & Mason Mastroianni for April 27, 2022

Some types of oaks don’t drop their dead leaves until they are pushed out by the new leaves.

“He’s dead, Jim.”

Typical of Oaks to wait til all else is cleaned up before they drop their leaves..

It’s spring, leaves are coming out.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to leaf a message.
