Awesome. When we lived in KY we had a manse that had several red sugar maples on the lawn. When they reached their peak it was like the block was on fire. Unfortunately, the church left it up to the minister and his young family to rake up the tons (seemed like it) of leaves. It was not one of their (or my) finer moments.

@Viewfinder: I hear you on the issue of raking up all those "tons of leaves."
Beauty has it's price. :D

I'd like to take a walk through that carpet of leaves...I don't know WHY do they rake it all????? The leaves should be there, to be enjoyed! Around here, when the time comes for the leaves to weave the colourful carpet, the caretakers get crazy with raking and sacking them all day long! It's the time when I hate them!

@Japanalia: From what I've read, some leaves make good compost for the grass and soil beneath them, and others do not, so must be raked clear. I remember as a child, running and jumping into piles of crunchy leaves and it was such fun.
