Fall Madness

For those of you who have ever been to Pennsylvania, you know how many TREES there are. We have 4 huge ones just in our front yard. Well, while most of the year they are beautiful, the leaves do have to FALL OFF at some point. Ours were so dense that the boys couldn't even run through the yard. The city provides a leaf clean-up service once in Nov. and once in Dec. but you have to rake all your leaves to the front yard and put them in pile along the front sidewalk. Our leaf pick-up was last Friday so Spencer decided to stay home Wednesday and help me rake. We raked for 6 hours straight! It even started snowing half way through so by the time we were done, the LEAVES were so weighted down with water that we could barely move them. We both realized we are not as young as we used to be. We were sooooo sore the next morning! Needless to say we had such a great time together laughing, listening to Christmas music playing on our front porch, and watching the BOYS PLAY in the piles.
