Colorful Leaves

I had a dream a few weeks ago...tell me what you guys think it may mean.

Beautiful fall day, leaves on the trees just beginning to fall for the winter, gold, orange, yellow, and red decorated my path as a walked through a neighborhood. A lady working in her yard begins to sweep all the pretty leaves that had fallen to the ground onto her sidewalk...I stop and watch wondering why she is sweeping them onto the walk instead of into a pile to be picked up...as I approach her to ask this question of her, a man steps out from behind a tree. He asks, "Do you need me to help you gather the leaves?" The tiny lady turns around and with a sweet smile on her face she replies, " no, but thank you for asking." He stands there and watches her for a few more minutes, as she turns back and again begins to sweep the leaves onto her sidewalk. The question I wanted to ask her, he asks with a little giggle...."why are you sweeping the leaves onto the sidewalk?" She turns again with a smile with such grace on her face, "I am adding more color to my path." He stands in wonder and then he says, "But the wind will only blow them away!" Eyes gleaming, she smiles and says, "It's okay, So Be It, the wind will take them where they need to go."

At that point I awoke..for weeks I have been pondering this dream and it was to beautiful of a dream to keep to myself.  What is your interpretation of this dream?
