A childhood memory. My sisters and I had a large yard with many trees when we were growing up. We were always outside playing in it. To maintain the yard, our father put us in charge of picking up sticks and pinecones from the yard before he mowed it. We were also responsible for raking leaves and bagging them. We would create large piles of leaves, jump into them, throw them around and into the air. After we had our fun, we would finish our original chore of collecting them into bags.
