The spectre of decay . . .
Well, either the leaves don't fall but just puff up again new-like for spring, or ...
the elves gather the fallen leaves and stuff them into great works of beauty and art, otherwise known as quilts. I suspect this latter option, as it is highly likely that the Hutterites, who are famous for their down-stuffed quilts, are the inheritors of the elven love of beautiful crafts.
Now, I bet no one ever imagined that the Barrow Downs could be about goose feathers, eh?
