Blanket of Leaves

This is my first October and Fall in my house.  Sunday afternoon I mowed the front yard.  I normally don't do both the front and back at the same time since it is a lot to do at once.  As I was finishing the front I decided to go ahead and do the back as well.  All the leaves building up were driving me crazy.  So I mowed the back and things looked much better.  Monday morning I looked out and the lawn was COVERED in leaves.  Even more so than before I mowed.  Then I looked out the window Monday evening right after work and the leaves were falling like crazy.  It looked like it was raining leaves.  Now, I knew there would be a lot of leaves.  I knew there were a lot of trees.  I was here and did all the cleanup this spring.  I guess I just wasn't expecting there to be quite this many.

We have had a beautiful week here.  Sunny and lower to mid 70's.  The leaves are all changing and are magnificent colors.  Absolutely beautiful.
