A Day In The Leaves

I think that the goal of every child should be to have friends who have more leaves in their yard than you do.

By having friends who have ridiculous amounts of leaves already handily raked into a ginormous pile two things are universally true:


a. Playing at a friend's house is always more fun than playing at home, i.e. playing in their leaves would be much more fun than your own lame leaves.



b. If leaf playing is done elsewhere, this allows the mother to not have to rake her own leaves for the entertainment of her children. Or even worse, to have to re-rake the entire yard after her children have decimated the leaf pile. -shudder-

Just saying.

Awesome photos Estee! You're right it's much better to deconstruct the friend's pile of leaves... for you anyway! LOL Can't wait to see how you scrap these!

*Sorry about the duplicate post. Blogger is misbehaving.

Your photos are amazing! We live on a busy street and we just let the bustling traffic blow the leaves down the road. lol I might add we have one tiny tree at the curb. Not like the neighbors whose leaves are all over! sigh!
