The leaves turn so many shades of colour. As they fall from the trees, it becomes a chore just to rake them. For the gardener they are gold. Bagging some, but putting most on the flower beds to have a layered cushion to keep the spring bulbs hibernating in the soil warm so they can bloom in the spring. Little children like to collect the leaves. Do you remember trying to have a variety? Then your mother would get the wax paper letting you put them between two layers and pressing with an iron so the leaves would be waxy so you could save them. Have you ever picked up a dictionary or big book to have those leaves fall out? It is a reminder of a fun activity!
A good way to develop a child's interest in nature.
