Leafy leafy leafy
Well, Fall has fallen here in Leavenworth - and all within about 5 days. We have leaves in our front yard that are already about 15 inches deep. We love our trees, indeed we do. But ... this time of year, they make quite the mess. And what is even worse is that all the trees in the entire neighborhood are apparently aiming at my front yard.
I started to rake, but it is so windy today that I was getting nowhere. Besides, I fly to D.C. tomorrow and won't be back until next Friday - maybe by then the Leaf Fairy will come and clean up the yard.
I have not been a total slug, though. I filled my 5 birdfeeders and I've put away clothes. But, I should be doing a bit more. So I'll go now, and attempt to assuage my very Catholic guilt for having a messy house!

We have a multitude of leaves on the ground also, but for a different reason. ;)

Leaves! Oh how I miss leaves. There are some on the university campus, but I miss raking them up in my front yard for the girls to jump in, swim in, lie in...
Pictures?

Rae - how about you bring the girls and I'll provide the rake and...
Yeah, we can do pictures.

Leaves - I miss the raking and burning of leaves in the big drum we had out back. This is when I miss Ohio. However, I can go outside in shorts if I want to today, so I guess I don't have it so bad.
By the way, as to Californians moving to the Midwest? Surely you would allow someone like ME there, right? After all, I'm FROM there.
