Fall Leaves
For two weeks, the temperatures have been dropping and the
leaves have been tumbling down from the trees above. Although the oak tree
leaves don’t tend to turn the beautiful hues of reds and yellows like the
maples, they still drop their leaves in preparation for the winter. We’re now
aware of this as we look out the window into our front yard.
Just one week ago we could see the grass. This weekend, we
decided that it would be best to start clearing off some of these leaves before
they accumulate even more! After three hours of raking and blowing, the front
lawn can now be seen again… who knows for how long.
Here are a few pictures of how our front lawn looked this
morning before we cleaned up the leaves… and a few after. If anyone is
interested in coming to Richmond, we’ll let you stay with us in return for your
labor :)
