Falling Leaves

While the temps here in Galesburg are still mild, 58 yesterday, I decided to get the garden cleaned up before the weather turned and it was nasty and cold. So while Finley napped, Braden and I set out to do just that. He was a great helper, picking up all the green and non mushy tomatoes that were on the ground and tossing them into the bucket. Once that daunting task was finished (boy do I feel much better) we set out to clear out some of the leaves in the driveway. There is no point in raking yet...still tons of leaves on the trees, but a nice line of leaves "piles" up against the edge of the driveway and they get brought into the house. So I was scooping them up into a yard waste bag and I went to sweep the porch, turned around and Braden was dumping them back out into a pile.....he had a ball, I was mad for 3 seconds and then just watched and remembered when a pile of leaves (and this pile wasn't that big) could keep you occupied for hours....aaahhh to be young again!
