Fall leaves fall

 "Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;

Lengthen night and shorten day;

Every leaf speaks bliss to me

Fluttering from the autumn tree."

-Emily Bronte 

Thirty leaf bags later, we sure had fun taking care of our mature yard this year. It definitely made for some fun family afternoons and evenings, complete with big smiles from Leah and extreme mood swings from Kate. (So, in other words, just a regular few days that also happened to include raking leaves.)
