This is the main reason for wanting to get all of my grass nice and short. Then most of the leaves that are already starting to fall will blow away and I won't have to rake so much. This system has always worked well for me. I love this colorful maple leaf I found while walking Webster. I photographed it on an old storm shutter with the most wonderful blue over green paint.
