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.



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 . . .
