Leaf Mountain Dive

I was itching for open air after spending all yesterday indoors, so I slipped out the garden gate and marched straight down the sidewalk! Right by the curb sat a massive, freshly raked mound of crispy bronze oak leaves. Too tempting to pass up! I scrambled up the rough red-brick garden border to gain some serious height, locked my eyes on the highest peak, and launched into the air! SWOOSH-CRUNCH! I cannonballed straight into the center! Brittle leaves exploded in a giant golden flurry, burying my skirt and boots in crunchy, fragrant piles. When the rustling settled, I poked my head out with the biggest grin!
