Even though Kevin has a lovely lawn mower that does an excellent job of sucking up all the fallen leaves, we still enjoy some leaf raking. It would be a shame to have as many trees as we do and not enjoy some leaf pile jumping. The weather has been goofy this year, so I had to take advantage of a not-so-cold day while Ricky was at school. The younger boys could barely stand waiting for me to rake the pile…
Of course, the pile jumping is only a small part of the fun. The REAL fun is the leaf fight!
Sometimes I luck out and get a shot like this next one. Tommy’s face is priceless …
Rusty would come close enough to chuck leaves at me and then run away as fast as he could. He didn’t really appreciate being hit with leaves.
Billy wouldn’t let him get away with that though and chased Rusty down …
Billy had no mercy at all …
I was still pulling leaves out of my shirt a couple hours later!
And then the leaf fight must come to an end. Noses are running, backs are itchy, and someone has swallowed a few too many leaves …
I love fall.
