  I always start the season raking up my leaves, but then as they all fall it becomes to many to rake...so I stop  :wave:

We rake our leaves into big piles so the kids can jump in them and play in them.

I can't stand raking leaves so I have a backpack blower to fling them away.  Pine needles are the worst as the blower isn't all that effective on them.

I love to rake leaves and it's even better if my grandson is with me and jumps in them as I make the piles!

I WISH my Neighbors Would.  This issue really angers me.  They have a HUGE tree in their yard with Huge leaves!! And they never rake them.  And I am sure you know what I am going to say.....
They all blow in my yard.

How about the people that blow the leaves and clippings into the street??
That angers me too!!! Lazy... now it is going to blow all over the street... plug the drains.. and/or blow in someone else's yard.

I live in an apartment complex. Part of the rent pays people to rake, mulch, trim the Hibiscus flowers......I remember walking through the piles when I was young.

Some.  My husband has a bagger on the lawnmower so he uses that which is extremely nice for me.

I only bother if someone gets uppity about all the leaves in our yard; otherwise, I don't bother with them.

The only time I've ever raked leaves was when the city I used to live in would give me a notice about it.  Now, I'm out in the country and don't bother with them.  Neither do any of my neighbors.

Luckily I only have one tree in my yard so it's really not necessary for me to rake leaves

Sometimes I do and other times I don't. If I do decide to collect them, I don't do so until all the leaves (or at least the majority) have fallen. Otherwise, it kind of defeats the purpose and I'll just have to go out and do it again.  :sad1:
