Leaves

Sunday was beautiful! It was in the mid 70’s. DH went off for a few hours on his new ride with some of the guys and the boys and I raked leaves. With only one rake and one broom it took quite some time.

There were a lot of leaves. We made a huge pile. It’s about a 5 foot circle and 3 feet deep.

The boys took a long running start and leapt in

And threw leaves

Then the tree branch was noticed and I suggested jumping from it

Even these guys joined in the fun and we played Hunt the Dino in the leaves.

The stegosaurus thought it would be fun to stay hidden so Mayhem had to burrow through the whole pile looking for him

By the time the stegosaurus came out of hiding the sun was starting to set, so we piled the much flatter & more crushed leaves back up  and used them to mulch the nearby trees.

I’m glad we managed to get one day of playing with the leaves in this fall. It has been so wet & unpleasant on the weekends lately.
