Welcome Fall

It is finally starting to feel like fall to me now that the weather is cooler and the leaves are falling off the trees. This weekend we weeded, mowed the lawn, reseeded some bare areas in the grass, cleaned out the gutters, and raked leaves. By we I mostly mean Brian; although, I did help a little while Rachel was napping. Growing up I always thought raking leaves in a huge pile and jumping into it would be tons of fun. I have since learned it is not. You do all this work to rake up leaves and by the next day the same number if not more leaves have fallen. Also if you jump into the pile it does not stay a nice neat pile and you have to rake it up again. In spite of these complaints I love that the leaves turn such beautiful colors and fall of the trees because without that it just wouldn't be fall. As an added bonus this year our little pile of leaves made another great photo op for Rachel.
