Fun with leaves






So Grace was all about playing in the huge pile of leaves in the front yard, but Peter was more interested in helping wash leaves out of the gutters with the hose. (Note to the concerned: no, the three-year-old was *not* allowed to climb on the roof with the hose. Better luck to him next year!) Of course, after several hours of work and ten big leaf bags filled with leaves, the wind blew all night and the yard is now covered in ... freshly fallen leaves. In other foliage news, the hydrangias are starting to turn colors and they're so pretty - even the fading flowers have a certain beauty. And the geraniums we bought in the spring have blossoms still, even after our first good frost. They're a pretty reminder of a lovely summer.
