Fall is here!!  And by that, I mean the falling leaves are here....and it's just the beginning, I'm afraid.  Sunday AJ and I raked and blew leaves around.  We had a thunderstorm come through Saturday so the leaves were wet and heavy.  I probably had more leaves, but the storm blew mine into the neighbors, and blew the neighbors into mine.  (Theirs are prettier - bright yellow leaves, not dull brown like mine...and their tree is smaller, so I had less leaves than usual.)

My pile to be shredded - since the leaves were wet they were not shredding well, so they will wait until the weekend to get shredded.

I put some in with the chickens, and they had a blast digging through them.
