Autumn tasks

I’ve been busy raking leaves for the past few days. Big yard + lots of trees= LOTS of leaves for the compost pile. The hours of daylight are shortening so it feels like a mad dash to get it all done but yesterday I was easily distracted by the sunlight glistening on the pin oaks, the way the light played with the tines of the rake, the rustling sounds of the wind through the mighty pin oaks and the sweet little squirrels chasing each other ’round my yard. This isn’t my favorite time of the year so it’s good when I can stop and take in the little miracles happening around me.
