Today we had our third annual leaf raking party at my father's house.
My dad has nearly an acre of property surrounded by trees and it is too much for him to take care of by himself any longer.
We decided we should all share in the job and keep him sane.
As always, I took the opportunity to look for interesting photo subjects.
This is some moss on one of my favorite trees.
We bagged 59 bags of leaves in an hour and a half and he still has two or three trees that are green and need to fall. Also, his neighors trees have not fallen yet and they never pick up their leaves so they all blow into my dad's yard. So, there is more work to be done.
It was a beautiful day here, a break from the rain we've been having. When we were done we went inside for hot cider and chocolate. Then we had a dinner of homemade soups and subs.
Hope you had a great weekend! :)
How wonderful that the family pulls together to take care of those chore! Sounds like you guys have found a way to take something that is not so much fun and turn it into an occasion!!
