Our Version of Shoveling the Driveway

I can never go back to snow again!  I love winter here.

You have to rake the leaves to the curb here and the leaf vacuum (?) truck comes by and sucks them all up.  Just in case you thought I was a bad mom for making my kids jump in piles of leaves right by the road.   

The kids ended up making this their fort and got their Nerf guns out.  I'm sure the leaf sucker guys got away with a few of our darts.

This isn't really a big pile, but our tree hasn't even lost all its leaves yet.  For some reason it keeps them all until spring.  This is just our neighbor's castoffs.
