Today's clue:
When leaves stopped leaving widow started to bury (6)
Its solution: WINTER = W + INTER
I have to admit the idea for today's clue was stolen from Hank Ketcham.
Some 30 years ago I remember reading Dennis (the menace) telling his father (who is busy cleaning the garden ) " When leaves stop falling, fall starts leaving".
It was a deviation from the usual fare, instead of making any mischief ,Dennis makes a pun. This delightful wordplay came handy today in forming today's clue.
