For those that claim G-D is a neat freak, I counter this argument with my evidence scattered among us, especially if you leave in the northeast. G-D could have decided after the colors changed that is time for them to leave but instead they stay until they are old and brown. I understand a leaf is biodegradable but so is an old rotten Apple core and how many of us would find it beautiful to see them on our lawn or in our house. Therefore we can determine by nature that G-D enjoys a little mess once in awhile (or even once a year) as long as we clean up afterwards or leave it to rot away for a better outcome.
