The Pleasures of Autumn

I can't think of a better way to spend a perfect autumn afternoon than playing in a gigantic pile of crispy brown and yellow leaves! My boys have such a great Gramm-- not only did she slave away, raking what must be millions of leaves in her yard, but instead of bagging them up to throw away, she raked them into an enormous pile for her grandsons to enjoy.

And boy, did they enjoy!

A big bed of crunchy leaves is perfect for...

running and jumping into...

(Grammuh is an expert leaf-jumper!)

Hiding...


Tossing...


Gathering (with both hands)...


... and wading!


When you're tired, a tire swing serves as a perfect resting spot-- as long as you'll share with your brother!


A backyard treasure!

Crunch, crunch, crunch...



Thanks, Grammuh! We love autumn leaves and we love you!!
