The kids have been waiting anxiously for the time when the leaves begin to fall. Oh how they look forward to playing in the leaves! We've been watching the tree in the corner of the yard for a few weeks now as it slowly turns into a thing of incredible beauty. It is one of the reasons I love Fall. About this time every year I can't walk by the window without pausing to admire its loveliness.
The other thing I love, besides the brilliant colors of fall that are so cheerful and refreshing, is the joyous sights I see each day when I glance out the window. I am constantly wanting to grab my camera and snap some pictures. Obviously I've done that plenty. I can't seem to help myself. :) Here is Fall overdose. :)
Note: Maybe I enjoy this so much because in Oregon, DRY, crispy,crunchy, fluttery, leaves don't exist. :D
Leaves!!! Wonderful, crispy, crunchy, fluttery, leaves!!!
You can just shuffle your feet through them and listen to them whispering and rustling as you meander along, kicking some up every now and then to watch them flutter around in little whirlwinds.
Or even just above your own head...again...and again...and again! Such fun!!!
All together now!
And then its time to rake them up again...
(You'll notice at the end of the video Aubrey didn't want me to feel left out. Yes, I got a faceful! :D)
I could sit outside all day, watching them play in the leaves, and enjoying the crisp fall air! It's so refreshing! Happy Fall ya'all.

Yay for fall leaves! We did manage to find some this year! Uncle Rick graciously left the ones that have been falling from a tree at the mtg room. On Wednesday night there was finally enough for a ginormous pile in which the kids were burying each other and tossing up and rustling through! Leaves make such a cool explosion pattern when you throw a handful skyward. Great job sharing Aubrey! :D ~ SJo
