Playing in the Leaves

Throughout the entire Fall Sydney asked over and over when she would be able to jump in the leaves. Unlike the North, where this would have happened in September, she had to wait until the week of Thanksgiving to fulfill this dream.

Thanks to our neighbor's maple, 80% of which hangs over our yard, Rich had the joy of learning about almost daily raking, and Sydney & John had the joy of jumping in the leaves.


Our piles were not nearly as impressive as the ones my father used to build, but our yard is only about 6 feet wide, and we were provided with more than enough leaves for fun.
