May 4, 2010


I hate these things. They are called samaras and fall from our many maple trees. A samara is sometimes called a key and is often referred to as a whirlybird, helicopter, whirligig, polynose, or, in the north of England, a spinning jenny.

All I know is that they have invaded my yard, and do not get sucked up into the lawn mower as nicely as I would like.
