That time of year

It's that time of year again when our trees begin shedding their leaves and needles, thus requiring large of amounts of raking and blowing on our part. We started getting the yard cleaned up last weekend and began making the "wall" in front of our house (the county will come by and vacuum up all the leaves and pine needles to make mulch; we just have to get everything to the curb), which we anticipate to grow even larger as the weeks pass. But...of course after all the hard work, there needed to be a little bit of fun!
