The Call of the Leaves!

Who can resist the call of the leaves? The work may be piling up, and weather bad (which it wasn't) and yet I must go and look at the leaves. And feel the leaves, throw the leaves, play with the leaves, and for the sake of the watching neighbours, rake the leaves. ;)


Perfect for piling up the leaves!! This lovely wheelbarrow has the added feature of one detachable handle. Perhaps that is why it was a "driveway special". We love it all the same!


Squishy the facey.


Little man doing his part, one leaf at a time!


So proud of his hard work--sure adds up, doesn't it? ;) Look at the monstrous pile he made!


Helper number two. This guy got smart, and invested in a rental digger. Very effective! Plus, it's a tonne of fun.


The art of building a monstrous pile is lost on Melanie. Isn't it just much funner to run through it, and spread it out as far as possible? I agree--it sure is! That's why I *ahem* take a little longer than the average rake man. ;)


And why not take a break on the teeter totter? After all, I'm not getting paid! :p

So yeah, who would rather stay inside vacuuming or cooking?

Terrible twos have taken over.
