WHEN I WAS A KID

When I was a kid, in Autumn, we raked all of our leaves in the back yard into a big pile in the center of the yard.  Four large walnut trees dropped many leaves into our small yard.  Anyway, my sisters and I would jump into the pile a time or two and then we would throw a lighted match onto it.  Big fire!  All the neighbors did the same.  The smell of burning leaves was just a part of the Fall season.  Today, you could get arrested.
