The day after the pumpkin patch, we enjoyed another beautiful Indian summer day, so we decided to rake some leaves. Since our house in St. Louis had a very small, fairly tree-free yard, we didn't have any rakes! We borrowed one from the neighbors, which quickly turned into three, because both boys wanted to help.
All of the neighbors were blowing leaves, which, with the size of the yards and number of trees made sense, but it just seemed wrong to blow leaves for a leaf pile to jump in. Old school leaf pile jumping requires old school raking.
Our leaf pile was huge, and it only used leaves from part of our front yard. (We ultimately used two leaf blower...our smaller electric one and our neighbor's high-powered gas one...to clear our yard of leaves.)
I had a great time playing in the leaves too!
