| Good Grief, Megan, what a mess..I give you the prize for the most leaves! We've raked twice this week and I thought we had it rough (actually, Chuck caught me raking Wednesday and went nuts, took away my rake and sent me in the house after I did the whole front yard..I think I've healed enough, he does not). Hope you get it done before you get the snow that we're supposed to get tomorrow night. Marci, you jumped ahead of us in that department...you get the prize

| I win! We have more in the backyard...cause I can still see green grass in your pictures! But you'll just have to take my word for it because I don't have pictures! I woke up about 3 this morning when my son was taking his puppy out to potty, and I heard it raining hard. I asked him about it today, and he said it wasn't raining, that was leaves falling. I didn't believe him until I went up in the attic today and while I was up there I heard it start pouring down on the roof. I came running down because the puppy was outside, and when I got down, I looked out and the sun is shining, but the leaves are falling like crazy

| Wow Megan! Lots o' leaves! Emma & Milli say that they'll help...but I think they like running THROUGH the leaves and tunneling under them better than raking!

| Looks like my backyard did a few times. LOL... I raked, put some in Compost bin, and mowed mowed mowed... I figure it'll help mulch my lawn. |

| I think Megan should have to count the leaves that she rakes!

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | ^LOL what did I do to you!? Actually I should...just to see how many there are. =P BM - that's crazy! Marci - at least snow melts! We, also, mow them with the lawnmower. But I'm afraid that these leaves would kill the lawnmower, especially because they're wet. =/ I actually am quite tempted to blow them into my neighbor's yard - I don't really like them anyway, and 90% of the leaves come from their trees! All, we should have a leaf raking party. At my house. BYOR (bring your own rakes). I'll even give out free...hugs!? haha. I'm slightly dreading raking this madness. and they haven't all fallen, either!

| HAHA You didn't do anything, I just wanted to see what you would say. it would be quite interesting to see just how many leaves there are. I think you'd lose count after like 57.

| Soooo many leaves....I loves leaves though....I always keep some in the yard (my grandfather can't stand that)...just to play in ....but for the most part, we mow/mulch ours back into the ground. I say....rake some into a huge pile and play!!!
