Fall

People rake their leaves into the street here. When I first noticed this, I thought that I was living in some crazy gated community where there were regulations requiring no leaves in your yard and where garbage men pick up your leaves each morning, but that is not the case. The leaves stay in the street. It's as if everyone thinks it looks better to have a huge pile of leave on your curb than to have them scattered around the yard. This fascinates me. I often drive through these piles and make a mess...which makes me feel a little better about this odd occurrence.
