After school today we worked hard at raking leaves. We also played hard while we were jumping in the piles of leaves that we had raked. Between the two maple trees that are deeply rooted in our property, we have no shortage of work...and enjoyment.
The fall season has been marvelous this year. The colors seem more brilliant than ever...but maybe that's just because I've forgotten the beauty of last year. One of the poems that the boys have memorized this year is by Emily Dickinson. She observes that in this season "The maple wears a gayer scarf"... and we've seen that to be true. I'm thankful for"our" maple trees.

Me: "Hey boys! Smile!"
The Boys: You can see the result of that for yourselves.
Wonderful!
