We now live in a world of leaf blowers.......they sing each morning in my neighbors yards......we lost something wonderful when we stopped raking leaves.......Author/Artist Shirl Knobloch Robert Frosts words on raking........... “GATHERING LEAVES Spades take up leaves No better than spoons, And bags full of leaves Are light as balloons. I make a great noise Of rustling all day Like rabbit and deer Running away. But the mountains I raise Elude my embrace, Flowing over my arms And into my face. I may load and unload Again and again Till I fill the whole shed, And what have I then? Next to nothing for weight, And since they grew duller From contact with earth, Next to nothing for color. Next to nothing for use. But a crop is a crop, And whos to say where The harvest shall stop?” ― Robert Frost
