Fun in Leaves

Let’s talk about fall leaves today. Makes sense on December 1 when we have our first snow fall, right? :)

Did you know that leaves fall because the veins that carry fluids in and out of the leaf close up? I’m sure there is more science to it, but basically they fall because of clogged veins.

As you know, we live in an older area with many mature trees. It’s beautiful but also means that we get a lot of leaves in our yard. A LOT. In years past Mark and I have raked, bagged, or composted together. This year, he had to do it on his own.

We took a few minutes to let Raelyn have a little fun in a small pile of leaves on the deck. I do believe that she enjoyed her first romp in the leaves!
