A storm blew in today and it feels like the end of Fall. We’re done with mild days and piles of leaves. Our leaf piles are pretty epic these days. One afternoon we hosted ten children ages two to twelve and they could all bury themselves in the same pile simultaneously. Eventually though we had to get to raking and bagging. Even then, there was fun to be had.
Meet the leaf giant:
He existed for a time underneath our honey locust tree. This next leaf art project used leaves from an apricot, a pear, and a mimosa tree.
The Pokeball:
When all the leaves were bagged, we had twelve big bags ready to be hauled off to the green waste facility. I’m going to miss the bright colors and warm weather of fall.
