The Mysteries of Kandern, Germany

Mystery 1:
Why do the leaves only fall on our yard?


I wish I had taken pictures of the neighbors yards this fall. I could have shown you how perfect they were. Maybe next year. I would do it now, but it's snowing. So I ripped off this pic from the Shuman's blog. Even their golf coarse is leafless in the fall.

All the yards here in Germany have trees, but for some unexplainable reason... our yard gets covered with leaves when the neighbors yards don't. How do they do that?

Here are the only possible explanations I can come up with....

1. They teach the wind and the trees to only drop leaves into our yard.

2. In the event that a leaf does fall... they run out into their yard and grab the leaf. They then run back into the house very quickly.

3. They convince their pets to pick up the leaves and carry them over to our yard.

4. The sheep eat them.

What do you think? Any ideas?
