    Donna, Will rake for pot roast and sweet potato pie! I envy you all those lovely leaves, just waiting to become mulch or added to the compost pile. I have to scrounge for leaves around here--as the junipers don't shed all at once, and hackberry and post oaks have very tiny leaves. The bright side is I don't have to rake!

    No way would I rake all that! :D
    My leaves just lay where they fall.

    I've been trying to keep up with the raking of leaves from the lawn but I'm failing miserably. :( Every day there's a new batch so I've given up until all the trees are bare.

    I don't rake. I ride and mulch. Makes some real nice black gold.

    I do rake leaves. Sometimes I put them into tall paper bags that were meant to decompose.

    Eileen I used to always be on top of ours but even with the sunny days and slight winds the leaves are falling, this is the first year I left it longer stretching 3 days the most...i'll be glad when they've all dropped off.
