Pine Needles

We don't rake leaves at our house.... we rake pine needles, or at least we rake and the kids jump. I really don't like it, they stick to shoes and get tracked all over the house, I would much rather have any other trees. But since they are on the neighbors property, we just get to clean up the mess. What is usually a chore was actually fun on a nice fall day. We spent most of the day outdoors and enjoyed the sunshine. Everyone was covered in pine needles and took showers at the end of the day too.
