Our yard has some gigantic trees in it that put on the most spectacular show a couple seasons of the year. The person that owned the house before us (or maybe it was before the people we bought it for) had a deep, deep love for trees and many shrubs. I love it because we have a totally private backyard experience and once you’re in our home, it’s easy to forget about the rest of the world.
That said, every Fall and early Winter, we are faced with our entire yard being covered in leaves….and Barry has started calling the task of raking up the leaves his ‘life’s work’….which I find both funny and sad. Because there are so many leaves!!! He (it wouldn’t be fair to act like it is a ‘we’ statement because he does 90% of the raking….) has really stayed on it and now that almost all the leaves are off the trees, we can celebrate Winter.
