I grew up in a neighborhood that was built in the 1920's. Our back yard included two large walnut trees. The people next door on all sides also had big trees. It made for a shady yard in the Summer but a lot of work in the Fall. Lots of leaves.
We would rake them all together in a large pile and set them on fire. Yes, right there in the middle of the yard. Big fires - just try not to set the house on fire. Everybody did the same. You never forget that smell. Burning leaves - I love it. It's not so bad raking if you don't have to pick them up. How did we ever live through it?
