This might be the last year of leaf pictures in front of our house with our own leaves. The tree on our front lawn belongs to the city and was unfortunately poorly installed. I don't t think the hole was big enough and someone put lawn edging too close. The end result is root girdle and it's choking off the rest of the tree. The branches spread in crazy directions and it's not as big as the healthy ones on the street. This year they cut down three and I think a fourth fell over. It's too bad too because I really liked seeing the trees in the spring with the new foliage and the colours in the fall.
It still did it's job this year providing a giant pile of leaves. With a bit of raking in the neighbours yard we had a great pile. Last year Callie wasn't too excited when she jumped in because the leaves were wet. This year she was expecting it and went back for more. Carter went out a half dozen times. My favourite outing was when he was naming his jumps before he did them. There was the "Super Hero", "The Zombie" and "The Ninja". Very creative.
