Are there more leaves this year or is it just me?

Have you noticed the leaves this season? Are there more falling to the ground or is it just me?  Perhaps it’s just that hundreds of them snuggled into my small garden.  It’s amazing.   Some wedged between the fencing and the mums, some burrowed deep into the actual mums and some have clumped around the garden edging.  Yesterday we cleaned up the garden and removed most of the leaves… Today, well, they found there way back…  Let’s hope for a good strong wind…
