If those leaves aren't gone, you might consider using them as mulch.
They will make good organic matter to stir in with the dirt to help retain water.
I say that because here there are only pine needles, and I sure would like some leaves to mulch.
If you just pile them up where you have room for them to sit, they will mostly be there when you get ready for next year's plantings.
I was making piles of leaves where I was before this and the soil was coming back from having been stripped every year.
It would flood when I started, but now the soil soaks in the water and doesn't pond up like before.
Stomping them when you can will help them break down faster.

OK! Thanks for the info. I'll pile them up somewhere, maybe on some of the beds or in a bin for compost. I have the town take the leaves in front of my house, and try to use those in the back yard somewhere. It'd be cool to set up some way to keep the leaves in the front yard too, now that you mention how good they are for amending soil. Next year!
