FALL LEAVES

A few weeks ago I was on my way home and as I was pulling into our community I saw a friend raking leaves in our front common area. I stopped to see if I could help with her "service" project. She explained that the garderners were coming today and she needed an activity for her son and his friend today so she was going to gather leaves take them home and let them play with them. She just needed to do it before the gardeners took them all. I helped her and a few minutes later Sarah and a friend saw us and came and helped.

As I left I thought what a great idea. That would be a lot of fun. As I left later that day I noticed the gardeners made large piles of the leaves and at the end of their day they gathered them and put them in large cloth containers. I decided I would let do this next week and use the gardeners assistance. So the next week at the right time I took Loryn and some of her friends with several garbage bags and we packed up the leaves. The gardeners thought is was great and asked us to come back again. We then proceeded to have one of the funnest afternoons playing in transplanted leaves. Randy thought we were crazy he asked us to come to his home next year and use his leaves. Since they spent all fall trying to get rid of them. We might just have to do that next year.
