I Love The Fall ...Not To Crazy About Raking The Leaves !

I lived in Southern California for years and we only had one season..summer. My husband and I moved to Washington state in July and I'd forgotten how beautiful the fall season is. People here think that I am crazy. I carry my camera everywhere I go and I must have a memory card half full of pictures of trees with changing colors.

We don't rake ours, we have some sort of an attachment on the lawnmower. I couldn't tell you what it is, but I am pretty sure that's how the leaves are picked up. My husband and I don't have to do yardwork like that, only when we're planting. Hmm, the leaves are very beautiful though. I remember as a child raking them up and jumping in them, then we'd put them in a few orange pumpkin bags, it was a lot of fun.

Autumn can be such a special time of the year. Raking the leaves can be a chore that we don't look forward to doing. as a child, i loved raking the leaves into a pile so i could jump into them.

Me too! We don't have fall where I live though but whenever I go to the US it's always during autumn. I love the scents that go with it and the colors...the feeling I get during the fall is the feeling I get when I smell apple-cinnamon and when I eat spice cake...all warm and fuzzy inside. I also find the lighting great for photography, like nobody looks bad in fall lighting.=)

I don't really like the fall.. because I'm more of a fan of the summer.. I prefer the heat! I have never raked leaves a day in my life... except for once when my sis and I wanted to make two big piles of leaves to jump in. Today when I was sitting outside for the brief period of time that I did, my dad was raking the leaves on one side of the yard before he cuts the grass. We have a Japanese Cherry Tree in the front yard and the leaves always fall earlier than all the neighbors Bradford Pears on the street. My husband asked him did he need any help.. but he said no because he decided he was going to be lazy today and just cut the leaves up in the lawnmower!! lol

i would rake the leaves any day then shovel snow. i was living in minnesota last year for the winter and the first snow fall was 7 feet deep. it took forever to get my car outta the snow. it was cold and terrible. i live in georgia now where we barely get any snow. im loving it to be honest. i thought i would love the snow, but i proved myself wrong! lol

Fall has arrived and the trees are looking amazingly beautiful. The first days of Fall were like summer, temperatures very high. It's getting back to normal temperatures, and I am enjoying them. Yup, have to start raking the yelly leaves too. My backyard is completely covered with yellow leaves.

I live where it is summer the whole year - divided into the wet season and the dry season, and though I love our weather, sometimes, I'm envious of those with the 4 seasons. Of the 4, my favorite is autumn, too! The colors are just so pretty, and I love the site of falling leaves! But, I guess, raking the leaves is pretty tedious. At least in your case, though, the leaves are dry. In our country, after a big storm, we have to clean up fallen leaves, too, and most of the time they're wet and muddy.

You and me both!I hate raking leaves lol and it seems likes the neighbor's have very few leaves in there yards but my yard is full of them and the more i rake the more they want to fall.But you right again its way better than shoveling snow lol.
