Leaves, Leaves...
Tam and I raked up leaves yesterday -- five bags already, and five leafpiles that will probably fill two or three more. This is about as good a job as we have done keeping up and I am hoping to have them all bagged and gone before the first snowfall. We only manage that about half the time.
I can't recall what their play name* was, but they consisted of a 1/4 stick of dynamite. Tossed into the middle of a very large oak tree in summer, most of the leaves will hit the ground.
I'm wondering if homeowners would find it advantageous to employ a leaf defoliation service in the fall, to enable leaves to be gathered up in a single day. I'm thinking this might be a fun job for someone who likes thing that go boom/bang. I suspect that the business names could be entertaining!
*Can't recall the name of small explosives for fun times. Courtesy of a bit of brain damage that leaves me unable to recall words upon occasion.

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."
