Leaves!

Why did I choose to rake up the leaves on my own free will? Simple: Raking's fun, I like having a huge pile of leaves in the front yard, and there's no feeling like that of landing in a pile of leaves and just laying there for a few minutes, looking up at the web of branches with they're collection of multi-colored treasure. This year we got an exceptionally large pile:

But with a great pile of leaves comes great responsibility, and my two sisters and I were forced to help pick it all up. Since we didn't have enough bags with which to hold them in, we needed another way to to haul them to the dump. My dad thought that we should lay out tarps in our big van and lode the leaves in and drive to the dump. But I thought that we should use our neighbors trailer (with permission), dump all the leaves into it and drive down Division Street at 60 miles per hour, then by the time the cops catch us, all the evidence will have been blown away! We went with my dad's idea.
