my least favorite part of fall has begun...falling leaves.
most of the time, it's a gradual process --> enjoy the pretty colors. a leaf falling here & there. eventually they all come down & we are settled into the stark naked trees & impending winter doom & dispair. woe is me & all that jazz.
but seriously this year, every tree in our yard lost all of their leaves on the same friggin day. {please note the extra green grass. the lawn bounced back after the drought this summer & this is the greenest it has been in months.}
jarrett is the official leaf raker in our household.
and the girls are the official leaf pile jumpers/destroyers/players.
mama is the official photographer of said activities.
playing in leaves is excellent cardio. and exhausting, as you can see.
she might have taken a nap out there if it hadn't been 45 degrees & the wind gusting at 25 mph. |
