monday's mulling: leaf raking (part 2)

Last week's Monday's Mulling focused on leaf raking and how having nice, clean lawns looks good but takes away habitats for insects. 

This week is leaf raking but from the viewpoint of a 3-year old. We spent this past weekend in Cleveland for a couple reasons: a Browns football game and to help our son with yard work, primarily raking leaves. He and his family live in a neighborhood with a lot of big trees that drop a lot of leaves. Todd and Andrew spent all day Saturday raking piles and piles of leaves to the street. But this time a little 3 year old guy was involved. Leaf piles are such a natural playground for little people and Owen's sparkling eyes and laughter brought so much joy to the hard working dad and grandpa. Didi, too 😁

  2. Looks like a great time was had by all. I really enjoy finding ankle deep leaves and walking through them, kicking them with my feet. I did that out at Mt Vernon this week.

    1. I love to walk through leaves, too, hear them crunch, and kick them up. That inner child helps to keep us young.
