Leaves!!

(This post was started on Dec 7, but saved to the draft file when something more pressing came up. Now I'm back, to add pictures and post a fall blog on the day after Christmas. Better late then never...?)

As a kid I thought the most fun you could ever have was jumping into a pile of leaves. This fall, as I watched the leaves fall around my yard, I tried to imagine what half an acre worth of leaves would look like in one pile. Wow! I went and bought two more rakes, and told the kids the plan.

Gus had a blast jumping into the leaves.
