Fall has always been my favorite time of year. The trees are gorgeous, the temperature is perfect, and apple cider is everywhere. I just LOVE apple cider! Fall also brings a backyard quickly filled with leaves. I'm not a fan of raking and we could get away with not doing it because our backyard is woods and who rakes woods, but I end up raking to get good pictures. I know it's all about the pictures. I'm kind of messed up like that. This world of digital pictures has changed everything for me. Each year at Christmas I make a calendar for my mother-in-law. Our November picture on the calendar is always the kids jumping in the leaves. So each year we break out the rakes and make a huge leaf pile to jump in just so I can get a good picture. Well at least that's why I do it. The boys seem to do it because they think it's fun to jump off the deck into leaves and get them all stuck down their shirt. I guess a 3 and 6 year old would find that fun. I do have to admit it is fun watching them. I just with the leaves would rake themselves though.
