    Wait until they start falling like rain to chase after them.

    Adam needs to plant Ginkos. Those drop all their leaves at the same time, usually in less than 1/2 hour. If there is no wind, it leaves a nice solid circle of leaves directly the tree. (Note-only plant grafted ones to make sure you have male trees. You do NOT want fruit.)

    Yes, it is more fun to watch other people work.

    I like the psychology of putting him “in charge of the leaves”……..I think I’d do something a little more easily if I was “in charge” of it…….

    A very large apricot tree shaded my driveway. Very nice until a bumper crop started falling on the car. A buddy of mine made wine and we struck a deal. He & his four kids came over, harvested and I told him the apricot wine was good. A win-win situation… :-)

    Clayton’s next attempt will be to try a net. Then maybe something else, and then try another big idea. Until dad hands him the rake.

    Although the apricot wine sounds like a splendid compromise, I’d just get out the backpack blower and move the leaves into a pile after they fell. Very little raking required..If Clayton was a bit devient, he could just “move” them to the neighbors yard; when they are not at home, of course…

    I remember in one dystopian novel I read a while back, the government sent round trucks to vacuum the leaves off the trees as soon as they started falling, to prevent the mess. It wasn’t the worst thing they did, but I thought it was horrible. I love the autumn leaves.
