There are some trees that I have raked it under at least three times and it is time to rake it again. If pine straw was dollar bills I'd be a multi billionaire.

Oh yea, pine straw is big business in JawJa.
I await an answer as well...
I have a number of large pines, and it seems like this year all the needles fell early, and not in excessive quantity.
Last year, multiple rakings and lawn sweepings... all the way up to winter.

Gotta be an Old Farmers Almanac kind of explanation somewhere...
