Fall time=Leaf time

Big bear hug from big sister to little sister.
This is a picture of Thing 1 trying to show the big snowflake on her eyelash. Can you see it? I actually can't but there are a few in her hair. They really were huge snowflakes that day.


We have two large dome willow trees in our backyard. Every year they wait till the end of Nov to start turning colors and to drop their leaves. Thing 1 looks forward to the large pile of leaves we have to rake every year. It is big enough adults can actually jump into it. B has; I haven't. These are pictures of the first of three raking sessions. It always amazes me how many leaves there are, especially since it drops lots of leaves ALL year long, but of course nothing like in the fall. Thing 1 and B raked these ones and then the kids played in them for a little bit. As soon as they had finished raking the leaves it started to snow
