Fall cleanup

Our neighborhood comes together each fall and pulls all the dead flowers from the entrance area. It saves the association some money, gets us outside and brings the neighborhood closer. I was pulling flowers in the mornings during my walk and decided it would be "fun" if the boys did it with me after school yesterday. They weren't too thrilled at first, but ended up having a great time. Especially, when I told them they could ride in the back of the truck back to the house. It really is the simple things that excite them!

This was the area we worked in. Just look at the beautiful colors on this tree! Mmmmm, that gives me an idea... maybe the boys will let me take a few photos of them by this tree. I'll keep you posted... wish me luck talking them into that!
