When I walked out our front door this morning I saw a big pile of leaves partly in the street and partly shoved up all over our sidewalk. I have no idea where they came from. Briefly I thought someone had taken pity on us and raked our front yard out of the goodness of their heart, but one glance at our leaf-covered yard killed that theory. Then, because, oddly enough, I noticed it looked like they'd been gathered with a snow plow, I thought maybe someone had plowed the leaves together from up the street, except the street in both directions was a mess of leaves, and also, who would do that? So it remains a mystery. It did motivate me to actually get out and do some raking in our oft neglected front yard. Since we generally go in and out through the kitchen door, sometimes we don't see the front for weeks, except for when we happen to drive by. It still looks messy, but at least now there are a lot fewer leaves.
