It’s that time of year again, when the leaves drop from the trees constantly. The past Saturday I mulched the leaves and tall grass. I made a couple passes in the front yard to make sure it was nice and clean. The next morning the yard was full of leaves again. Sunday afternoon we had some extra help from Tom and Sam. Sam enjoyed picking up the leaves and putting them in a bag. Tom had to help Sam understand jumping in the pile. I thought about when Tom was small. He had never seen leaves in Arizona, or not the amount of leaves we have here. We had to put him in the pile several times before he knew what to do.
