Falling into Fall

One of the reasons we bought our property was because it had beautiful trees in the backyard. They provide us with the much needed shade in the summer and a park like backyard. However, when the leaves start to fall, my yard maintainence increases 10 times the norm. I have to blow leaves every other day. The kids helped out this time and raked up a big pile of leaves. I thought they were being so helpful until I realized they were just doing it to jump in them. But hey, at least they are at the end of the yard and I just have to blow them over the fence into the woods!
