Autumn Leaves

At the moment, our trees look beautiful in all their autumn splendour.

Rebekah took a couple of the boys with her to rake the leaves and place them on our gardens for mulch.  Here is her rendition of the memorable time they had.

The Claret Ash and Golden Ash trees were covered with red and gold leaves until a few days ago.  They looked so pretty when the sun was shining through them in the late afternoon.

When their leaves did at last fall, the job gave itself to Jordan, Rob and I to gather them up and scatter them on as many gardens as was possible.

It turned out to be quite a lot of fun.

The boys had turns sitting on the pile of leaves in the wheelbarrow to keep them from blowing away, and when they least expected it I tipped them and the whole load out.

It was a bit of a worry though, when one started screaming and I thought I’d cracked his neck.

You don’t know how comfortable it is lying on a heap of raked up leaves.

Apart from an occasional twig or two, it’s almost as nice as sleeping on a normal bed.

Hard yakka!

Yes, sir!

The twosome before a tipping.

Get ready…

Phew!

“Let’s do that again!”
