Today was our ‘rake-up-the-leaves’ day.
In the back yard all the trees were empty by last night and while mommy prepared inside for visitors this evening, I took the boys outside for the big job! It is the first year that they are big enough to really contribute to the job and within an hour we had it all done (last year it took me and Gina at least three hours). As son as the maple tree in front, drops its leaves, we will rake them up and then they go into huge orange printed bags that will look like big American pumpkins – these will remain outside in the front garden until after Halloween.
