Raking Leaves......

The area where I live has both loose leaf and bagged leaves pickups.  Thankfully this isn't something that we have to pay for which is a good thing because I have a big tree in the front of the house and boy does it shed!  I don't mind raking them as long as I'm in a good mood and I do like the way it looks in the fall.  So I managed to have the leaves ready to be picked up - which is saying a lot because last year I just was not in the mood to do it but more importantly I had other things on my mind.  So this may be a good sign of good things to come - I certainly hope so!
