raking

Leaves.




Drew worked hard raking... to save the leaves from being mowed up!



There is a really cute story behind this leaf saving.

We have lived in this neighborhood for 10 years now- but it is still a newer development- with younger trees- so come fall we don't usually have that many leaves on the ground {although that is slowly changing}. Drew and his friends from the neighborhood used to go from yard to yard with a wheel barrel to collect all the leaves they could find. They would put all the leaves in one yard to make one big leaf pile that they all could jump and play in.

So, when Drew saw the grass getting mowed yesterday- he ran to get the rake to save the leaves he could. Evidently there must be a future leaf pile planned. =0)
