Day Three Hundred Eight 2013

“Never jump into a pile of leaves with a wet sucker.”   ~Charles M. Schulz

There is not a child on this planet who can resist jumping into a pile of Autumn leaves. Grandson Knox had a great time this morning doing just that. Mostly, he liked slogging through the pile and picking up armloads of the leaves and throwing them. No wet suckers involved. Just a ton o’ fun.

I love the leaves
IMG_6919
I do not know why.

Is it their colors or how they fly?

They crunch and crinkle under my feet.

I pile them up

and take a leap!

Day Three Hundred Twelve 2011

1108011608
You never know when the city leaf sucker is going to come along and make this big pile of leaves disappear, so it’s best to go ahead and jump in while the jumping is here and now. Carpe diem! Seize the leaf pile! Grandson Elijah did just that….while mom Holly and sister Shelby wait patiently for him to get it out of his system so they can all go home.

Day Three Hundred Six 2011

Hubby Neil has been working, off and on over the past several months,  installing old-fashioned tin (actually aluminum) ceiling tiles in our living room. Today he placed the final tile. I told him he should sign it, so he did—our names, the date, and a smiley face for good measure.

The last one goes in place. Hooray! Now he has to install the cornice all the way around. Stay tuned.

This afternoon, grandson Elijah wanted to jump in the leaves. So Grandpa handed him a rake, and Elijah got to work, raking a pile of leaves to jump in.

His mom got in on the action, too, to make the work go faster.

Elijah takes a leap! All that hard work paid off in big time fun.

Grand daughter Shelby jumps in with a hot pink flourish. Jumping in a pile of November leaves is a rite of passage for any child who is blessed to have a pile of leaves. Today couldn’t have been a more perfect day for it.

Day Three Hundred Twenty Three 2010

The Last Hurrah





Granny's little turkeys had some fun jumping into a small pile of damp leaves this afternoon out in the back yard. Sadly, the last leaf hurrah of the season. It was fun while it lasted, but I'm sure these two are already looking forward to that first snowball fight this winter. Happy TGIF, everyone!

Day Three Hundred Seventeen 2010

Leap!
"I love the leaves
I do not know why.
Is it their colors?
Or how they fly?
They crunch
And crinkle
Under my feet;
I pile them up
And take a leap."
