Fall has been very impressive around here this year. Though the colors and magnitude can't even compare to where we were out east, this has its own beauty and wonder! The new neighborhood we live in is an old more established spot. Big huge trees and nice old men who have lived in the same houses for generations. We just LOVE it. We have an awesome GIANT maple tree in our backyard which is just a treat! Trees and green are two words I would NOT use to describe the springs, but our neighborhood is changing my mind.
We felt very much like a traditional American family the other day. We bought a rake and cleaned up the yard. We even bagged up leaves which I have done in over 13 years when I lived with my parents! Thankfully, a nice lady wants to use our leaves as compost at her house so they don't just get sent to the dump to fill up a landfill. Sounds silly to most, but I was very bothered by not having a better place to use them as compost.
Cap had a blast and sister just took everything in with her own serious manner. We had leaves everywhere in the house after this night. It was great! Now that the sun is getting down so early we are looking forward to our family dark walks again after dinner. Enjoy the weather!!!
