Autumn Splendor

I both love and hate autumn. My yard has a bazillion trees. Look at the lovely fall leaves!
Ok, now look at my lawn!




Time to break out the rake. This time of year, raking leaves is almost a full time job! Well, I get some great exercise and my compost pile is happy as well so I guess I can't grumble too loudly--but I want to!! Waaah...

  1. Pretty! Our backyard had a blanket of leaves yesterday. Mr. Creations mows over them to make mulch which is good for the lawn. It's a gorgeous day to rake today. :o)

  2. Rumi, how Beautiful. I miss those leaves, and those autumn days. Our yard is a mess, just had city sewer hooked up and looks like we have had a bomb go off. Yikes. I have to replant the front yard. Have a great fall day. Robin

  3. That is so pretty Rumi. I was walking with hubby into town last night and saw piles of leaves over the pavements which weren't there a week ago. I was so tempted to kick them. :-)

  4. As long as the days aren't too cold it's not bad. :-) A little bit of sun today. REALLY gorgeous trees. You need to make a big pile and jump in them.
