Falling

This 100-year-old oak tree that sits in our front yard is a beautiful sight to behold in the fall. But all of its leaves along with the leaves of all of the other trees surrounding our house sure make a whole lot of work for us when they fall down.

Penelope did her best to help me rake up the first batch of fallen leaves. And a big pile of leaves can only mean one thing to a child--a pile to be taken down, rolled around in, and thrown. And that is just what Penelope did. 

Now, three days later, there are just as many more leaves waiting in the backyard for me to rake up. Looks like there will be even more piles of leaves for Penelope to play in....
