Fall into Autumn

Our tree is one of the very last to drop its leaves. Thank goodness the village decided to extend the pick up one more week or we'd be still out there bagging leaves now. It was overnight that about 90% fell from our tree. The neighbors are all bare. We will still have more raking to do.

When Meg got off the bus Friday and saw all the leaves, she immediately went for the rake, in the garage, by herself. She was determined to have the highest leave pile ever. She watched in the morning before the bus, it was like snow falling but with leaves. We got Timmy out there to enjoy the leaves too and when Todd came home, we made it a full family event. It was just chilly enough to feel good and enjoy it. We, as all our neighbors, spent all Sunday raking (or mulching w/the lawnmower) leaves to the curb. The piles leave no room for street parking.


Even Sammy enjoyed the day!
