Someone comes to spread out all your hard work -- perhaps it was even you.

We all know raking leaves can be drudgery, but the satisfaction of jumping into a pile or just kicking and crunching them as you walk down the street is oddly satisfying. And it's something only those in regions predominated by deciduous trees can enjoy.

For those of you in regions that experience a physical fall, lucky you -- go outside and play. For those of you elsewhere or stuck in an office or having someone else steal the glory of your leaf pile by jumping in it first, try to live vicariously through all these people.
