We made a huge pile in the backyard, ran and jumped in it, then had a bonfire -- might roast hotdogs and/or marshmallows -- right there in that small town where we lived. No more, of course, as various safety and environmental concerns have evolved.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-5430764262448589552012-10-29T09:16:30.120-04:002012-10-29T09:16:30.120-04:00Mike runs over the leaves with the mower and I rak...Mike runs over the leaves with the mower and I rake some into a pile--some to cover my compost bin and some as mulch for the flower garden.

I did it for years and now live in a townhouse. I get a thrill out of watching the gardeners do all of this stuff.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-18840761655630672782012-10-28T12:29:32.509-04:002012-10-28T12:29:32.509-04:00We try to wait until the leaves are finished.

Many of our leaves get mowed into tiny pieces, then put on the raised beds of our garden for mulch.Linda Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706455533282204519noreply@blogger.com
