Leaves are falling everywhere

We have spent the last week doing "leaf detail". That means each morning while Bella and Rex are out we sweep off the patio from the 6-8 inches of leaves that have fallen during the night. Then when we come home from work we do it all over again. We have a huge number of leaves. I swore I wouldn't send them to the land fill but, I just cant use that many of them. Saturday prior to the snow storm I thought I would get them all cleaned up. I did what I could but there are still so many leaves under the snow it's crazy. I did a check on the trees today and it seems that all of the leaves are down now. Thank goodness.....
