I loved to do it, even if I had to rake.
Kris P. Nov 1, 2009, 2:18pm EST
I love it, we used to toss our dog Leo into the pile of leaves when he was a pup.

Streaker buried herself in leaves today.
Georgiana S. Nov 1, 2009, 3:11pm EST
hopefully a rake is not in the pile! LOL

I earned a few bucks this afternoon helping a doctor from church and his wife clean/rake their lawn. I haven't done so much raking in years. This poem, written last night, proved prophetic.

I love the foilage.
Would you post this to my group, Anythingwriting ? Thanks.

Simple but to the point. Piling up leaves to jump into them was one of my favorite things to do as a child.
Randi Burnham-Brown Nov 1, 2009, 9:39pm EST
Great. You were in your neighbors leaves.
Richard Lynn Livesay Nov 1, 2009, 9:57pm EST
beautiful time of year...the maples are turning red here and the birch, yellow
enjoyed
Richard B. Nov 2, 2009, 11:17am EST
thanks, quite nice words and pic, all leaves here are on ground, none left on trees at all
Barbara B. Nov 2, 2009, 10:28pm EST
Oooh my goodness Robert, I really loved this poem !!
I always plopped down in a pile of leaves after raking.
hugs for Streaker and you.

The best part of raking leaves! This is great, Robert!
Rachel W. Nov 17, 2009, 1:29pm EST
I like it. My yard is full of leaves if you'd like to come rake them, and plop in them. :-)
