There are so many images of Autums past, crowding into my mind at this time of the year. <br />When I was a little girl, Daddy would painstakedly rake a huge mountain of dried leaves and my friends and I would wait patiently through the hard work, then he would grin his crooked little grin and we'd all run and jump over and over and over soon demolishing his perfect mound of leaves until our play time was finally ended. Back in those days one could burn their leaves. When the leaves were re-raked, Daddy would light the pile and we kids would watch wide eyed while the fire turned the dry leaves into ash, where the beautiful multicolored leaves once were.<br />Mother was adament every year that all the leaves had to be raked by Thanksgiving Eve..That was when my sister's family came to spend the holiday with us, along with our local family. I would help Daddy rake leaves while Mother bustled around the kitchen creating wonderful dishes for the Thanksgiving table.<br />Personally, I wanted the leaves left on the ground so that I could hear my feet rustling through them in the still Fall air. there's still nothing quite like a walk through fallen leaves, is there?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432077830895573755.post-8669653172804432322010-10-08T11:03:21.405-05:002010-10-08T11:03:21.405-05:00Fall is my absolute favorite time of year!
