Help! They've fallen and they need picked up!

Every year it takes its good ole time shedding, making the front yard look like an unkempt property. It's senseless to rake before they all fall. But the entire neighborhood probably hates the poor thing because it's so huge it sheds on other properties, too. And then come Spring, it will shed the little helicopters, which drop all over the flower beds and in the gutters.

Any takers? Or leaf rakers? Oh the price of having a tree in the front lawn. Next week at this time, peeps are going to have some sore back muscles.
