Leaves leaves and more leaves...

All the leaves...

Today is one of those days that Zach and I will remember next time we go to buy a house. Our house is on a half acre lot with about 25 mature trees on it. The trees tower over our house making it look tiny . In the summer the trees shade our house so well that we really don't need air conditioning it is SWEET. However, in the fall let's just say a billion leaves fall!!!! And that is the point of this post. HOLY LEAVES is all I can say. Zach started racking with Zander and Allissa. When Brody woke up he insisted on joining the family outside. I got him bundled up and we headed out! I ended up being the raker and Zach picked up the piles of leaves, put them in back of the tractor, and hauled the leaves and the kids to the trailer.

Allissa and Zander on the outside and Brody on the inside wanting out.

He is too precious!!

All our trees

That is our roof with the leaves on it and that is the tree in the backyard that towers over the house. I am dreading the rest of those leaves falling down.

Front of the house

The side yard...there use to be grass there. We only got about half of the leaves that you see in the picture raked. We will be out there again. My abs are going to be sore tomorrow!
Before Brody and I can out...

The trio...
This is were they hauled the leaves to. Behind the fence is where the pool is.

Moral of the story...our next house will not have 25 mature trees unless we can afford to pay someone to rake the yard!
