Another Even Dumber Contest

Last Tuesday I was in front of my house in the late afternoon. The temp was in the mid-60's and the wind was calm, very nice, but odd for a Nov. 9th. It was magically hypnotic, so I snapped this photo looking down my block to keep a memory. (my neighbor, bending over, had nothing to do with it, you pervert).
So the red oak which I planted in '04 has had six days since then to drop some leaves. Tell me the date and time which the last leaf falls and win a prize.

Thanks for the contest but are you going to sit out there to see the time the last leaf drops?
I missed the time. Nov 30th 4:40pm
I'll take the ides of December at civil twilight. Thanks for the contest, Peter. 🍀
So here's how you think it'll play out... that afternoon, before the sun sets, I see there's only one leaf left hangin'... and I get my flashlight and sit at my window until 11:56 waiting for it to drop... LOL
Hey you set the guess-parameters and we are going to hold you to them.
To clarify a bit, the Ides of December is the 13th and civil twilight on December 13th 2021 is 4:14 PM. I should have guessed the pridie Kalendas Ianuarias, "day before the Januarian Kalends" which is the last day of December, but I'll leave that one for someone else.

At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...
