Sounds like fun! Growing up all we had was leaves. Leaves leaves and more leaves to rake. Birch, maple and something else I can’t remember. We had a corner lot on the block so you can imagine all the leaves. I think the tree that was between our lot and the neighbors was an oak tree. That also shed a lot. I did the mowing and sometimes we would mower with the bagger on. Then dad would use it as a mulch. The leaves are mixed with the grass. It smells so good! It is so much easier than raking up the leaves.

You reminded me that I should go out and sweep the needles off the deck. Once I was sitting out there this summer and a pinecone almost hit me on the head! Our pinecones aren’t big enough for say a wreath or something that fancy, but they could be used as Christmas tree decorations. I’m with Henry, I love the smell of the woods all year round X
