We Never Had To Do This Before

We have trees now!  We get kind of excited about that because our last two houses were built in newer subdivisions that had previously been some farmer's field.  No trees.  At least not for years and years, and even then they weren't very big. Then we lost a couple of the trees we did have when the tornado went through a few years ago.

But here we have trees.  The one out front is really pretty right now, all yellow and orange.

And dropping leaves all over the ground, too - so today we raked up a whole pile of those leaves.

We've never had to do that before!  I guess we better get used to it, because there are still plenty of leaves left to fall!

Do you think I'll still think they're pretty by the time we've had to rake all the rest of them?
