Put Your Leaves To Work in Your Garden
Making Memories With Fall Leaves
Our Golden Ash Tree dropped its leaves today... yes, all in one day!
When the kids were young, this event called for a festive time beginning with a long day of raking huge amounts of golden leaves into piles. Then it took several more days for pets and children to tire of playing "hide and go seek" in their huge forts.
