The
Story
"Not
everyone has your passion for dead leaves."
Jane Austen - Sense & Sensibility
Do you know what a leaf fort is? It's simply a huge pile of
fallen leaves carefully raked up, on top of which a group of
children sit defending the pile against another group. Battle
is joined by gathering up armfuls of said leaves & pelting the
opposing party until all concerned are worn out, have twigs
in their hair, crumbled bits in their socks & underwear and
all the leaves are once again thoroughly spread over the lawn
where they belong in the first place. Obviously this was great
fun & every autumn when I was small this is just what my cousins
and I did.
Sadly there came a day when raking leaves was no longer anticipated
with delight - that's the day when I was TOLD to rake them.
Suddenly it was a chore.
Still there was something after the raking was over to look
forward too - burning the leaves with my father. I loved watching
them crinkle up in the flames while the smoke swirled up my
nose and made me sneeze.
Now in the fall I sometimes gather a handful of maple leaves
and burn them in the fireplace just to remember...
