apple tree debris

Growing up one of my jobs was to help with the yard work. There was weeding out the dandelions using tools instead of chemicals, there was raking up and bagging the mowed grass (my brother got to do the actual mowing), and there was raking up the leaves to burn. My favorite job was the leaves because we'd make huge piles to run and jump into. The leaves had a lovely musty, earthy smell and would stick in my hair. 
Now I look at leaves on the ground and am glad they are no longer my job to clean up!
