Seriously, Snow?

Three years ago was our first fall in this house and we raked enough leaves in our backyard to fill nearly 40 garbage bags! Last year we got smart and mulched them with the mower, so we only filled 10 or 12 bags. A huge improvement! This year we thought we'd be all cool and show everyone how many leaves we actually have. We had this great plan of taking pictures of the leaves during stages as they covered the ground out back. Great plan, right?

Stage 1: We took this awesome picture after we'd filled a couple bags with leaves. This many had fallen again by the time we cleaned everything up.



Stage 2: This was taken a few days later when a little more than half the leaves had fallen off our trees. Lookin' good!


Stage 3: This is the picture we took after all of the leaves had fallen. Note, there is something in this picture that does NOT belong!


Stage 4: To finish things off we took this picture, because it seemed like somebody was rubbing it in. Seriously, are we are total geniuses or what?!

So, with that said, does anybody want to come help us rake up 40 bags' worth of soggy leaves when the snow melts? It'll be SUPER fun . . .
