Late in the afternoon you always knew. The kids were home from school and the dad's were too. You could crunch outside in the leaves so deep. Mounds of them seemed to creep into the yards and the streets. They covered everything and they crispy crunched. Everyone raked them into a great big bunch. Little piles burning up and down the street. That sweet smell in the air lifted you with a Fall type punch. You knew for sure the season had changed. It was keen and neat, and boy did you anticipate. A little kids dream and the activities were gonna be fun. Apples, nuts, and Halloween and Thanksgiving were some of the dates. No on can ever forget when Fall was so grand. The leaves piled up by their own yards gate. Those couple weeks when life was pure ecstasy. That smell in the air, and the memories were there... just for you to take!
