I have mentioned before the amount of leaves that have fallen here at our home. But to clarify, my children and husband have been raking for about 2 weeks and burning piles upon piles of leaves.
It smells delicious,the burning leaves, it's a fall smell...
I am so thankful for their hard work. Our yard is ready for winter. We won't be raking gooey leaves and pulling up half of our fresh grass this spring, because we didn't get around to it. That's what happened last year:)
I made quiche for them to come in and smell and eat. It was a perfect evening to end all their hard work. I am sure they will be back out there, but I have to say, it's worth it, to have all these glorious majestic trees in our yard. Don't you like how I said that? I, being the one that hasn't been raking! But someone has to cook and clean, and take all the pictures!!

Raking leaves is my kids preferred chore. Unfortunately for us we still have a tree that is dropping leaves and yesterday we got snow... so I guess we get the gooey leave treat. :)
Mmmm...I wonder what burning leaves smell like? I don't mind raking leaves, especially when it's with other people. You always take great pictures. Is that Hunter's eye hiding under the pile?
Yes! That is Hunter! I guess that I didn't mention that:)
