Leaves...Leaves...Leaves...

We have the most gorgeous tree in our front yard.  It's huge...with a lot of leaves.  It's great in the summer for shade and come fall, the leaves turn BRIGHT red.  It's so magnificent that we literally get people driving into our court to look at it (Yes - it's true! I would sit out with Natalie on a blanket while Ryan played and several days in a row someone would drive into our court to check it out).

The "bad" think about having such a great tree is that you have to pick up all those leaves. Well...it's not "bad"...it's just a lot of leaves.  Here are a few of the pictures from the MANY days of raking that took place this year.
