Growing up in the Midwest, we had 2 huge trees in our front lawn that dropped thousands of leaves every fall. I have some great memories of raking leaves, making HUGE leaf piles and jumping in the leaves. Its just tradition. Every fall you play in the leaves. At our house now we have a few baby trees that we planted and are sort of surrounded by trees from our neighbors yard but not that many leaves actually end up in our yard for some reason- apparently they blow the other way. Either way its hard to get a decent pile of leaves. I tried to show Keira the joy of jumping in the leaves and miss messy herself didn't seem to enjoy having leaves stuck to her. She didn't enjoy sitting in the leaves or being buried in them. Oh well.. maybe she will like the snow that I am sure is just around the corner.

I'm sure your neighbors won't mind you rake their yards as long as Keira can play in their leaves! haha
