Leaves, Leaves....AND MORE LEAVES!

Well, fall has been in full swing here since mid-September.  I forgot how beautiful this season really is up here.  It was fantastic this year, but short-lived.  The wind and rain knocked the leaves off fairly quickly after they turned their vibrant colors.  The colors peaked around the first week of October.  The beauty was exquisite, but the work and magnitude of the leaves and pine straw around our house has been overwhelming.  Even though it is a massive job, the cooler weather and working outside in this beautiful season is worth every complaint about the amount of work that needs to get done outside.
