Sadly, this is the "after" picture, though I know it looks more like most people's "before." And I've already raked this lawn twice in the past week.
This is the pile I raked up in those twenty minutes.
And this is what was still above me. Curses.
So pretty. So much work. Must be fall at Blackrock.

I read three gardening articles yesterday saying to just mow your leaves and leave them. They even said to leave them in the flower beds.
We never rake and we have a lot of trees. Each Spring the grass comes up just fine even though it's never been cleared. I'd leave them.
Maybe why forests do so well. :)
An article from the National Wildlife Federation on why you should not rake.

Could you make sure a few stay on the trees so we can appreciate the colors? Promise I'll rake after they fall.
