Leaves!

The leaves are falling!  I mean...  THE LEAVES ARE FALLING!!! 

One of the greatest things about our back yard is the wonderful large trees that bring lots of shade during the summer.  However, we are cussing those same trees about this time of year when all those leaves come down.  My sister found a group of high schoolers that were raking leaves this past weekend to earn money for their investment club.  We took advantage of young, energetic people for the first round, but there will be an even deeper second round of leaves coming any minute now that us old tired people will have to deal with.

In the meantime, the group left a couple leaf piles for Jocelyn to enjoy.  This is the first year she really appreciated leaf pile jumping and she did it with finesse!!










At least when it was time to clean up the pile, she was happy to help rake!


Hanging out with Auntie is SO MUCH FUN!!

Pat and I were joking that since we had help with raking the first round of leaves on Saturday, the rest of the leaves were sure to drop on Sunday after all the helpers were all gone.  Sure enough, look what I came out to this morning!!!
