autumnleaftruce
/ˈɔːtəmˌliːfˈtruːs/nounVerified NewAlso in: Laubwaffenruhe (Deutsch) · hojatrégua (Español) · feutrêve (Français)
The one-week agreement by which both households rake the shared leaves, together, without dispute.
The autumnleaftruce is signed by action: both rakes appear on the same Saturday, and the boundary line is ignored for one hour. The piles are shared, the bags are joint, and tea follows. The truce is remembered fondly all winter and forgotten precisely by the next leaf, which is its schedule.
Etym. — autumn leaf + truce — the seasonal ceasefire of the rake.
