Tom went 4-wheeling with a couple of neighbors ........ we live in a nice area for that...... it was such a nice day with unusual warm temps for this time of year for us..... I'm glad he went and I hope he has fun........
This gave me an opportunity to get the leaves... and I do stress the plural on the end of leaf.... as in many!!!...... raked up and moved to the woods.......

We have a small drainage ditch that runs through our yard to drain water from the back to the ditch that drains to the county ditch...... the leaves are so thick that they create a dam in the spring and than our yard becomes a lake..... So I rake up and relocate the leaves that are a problem......
When I mentioned to Tom he could help me and it was good exercise... he jumped on his riding lawn mower..... than he went round and round in circles?????? I told him if he was going to rake leaves with the mower... "blow them into the ditch and I'll get them from there." "Okay"... he readily agreed.
So he tried with many maneuvers to accomplish this and just couldn't figure it out for the life of him..... than parked the lawn mower and said..."how is that?" I looked around and seen nothing different so I said..."good job.. that helps me out a lot!"
He was pleased with what he did? and went inside..... at that point so did I as evening was closing in anyway.
Now it's just me and the girls.... and they are as much help as Tom.... I raked them in a pile and they jumped in the middle to play
so I would distract them by telling them there was a squirrel in the tree.....
that didn't last long and they were back in my leaves again..... BUT in spite of there help I did get the job done and they made it fun!
