Sometimes, something simple can make people smile; For example, Fall leaves on the ground... Lots of them. Today, when the kids got home, I pointed out that a lot of the leaves from our trees in the backyard had fallen. That's all I had to say. Christina immediately went outside with the rake and started piling up the leaves. She spent a good 20 minutes trying to get as big a pile as possible. Then, she started playing with Rocky, Making him do tricks in the leaves. She even dropped a treat into the pile to see if Rocky could sniff it out. And he did! Anthony also played in the leaves for a very short while before returning to his homework. I, of course, took lots of photos! Here are just a few :
I have a feeling this is the last time they can do this for this year; Strong winds are in the forecast, which means all the leaves are going to fall. And tomorrow is the day when the gardeners come to cut the grass, which means they will surely pick up most of the leaves. At least, they had this one afternoon to enjoy such a simple thing!
