I asked them to rake the leaves and they did. Sort of.
All the leaves were definitely moved around using a rake. Now they define the boundaries of a labyrinthine house. It was too much fun watching them run along the grass pathways, “sleep” in piles of leaves, and construct new rooms for me to ruin it by stepping outside with trash bags. The weather will be nice again tomorrow. They can keep the house for another day. Besides, I am far too tired from shifting things around in the garage. I did, however, take a couple artsy fall photos because they made me happy.
I want to play in your yard! I did the exact same thing when I was a kid, but I think I sometimes made my yard into a little town with streets and houses. I miss that house, that yard, and those trees. So thanks for the pictures and the memories. 🙂
You’re welcome!
