As she was pulling out the garden plants she was thinking about where she could get the leaves that we need to till into the soil to help prepare it for next year (she's always thinking ahead like that). She realized that our neighbor. an elderly lady that lives across the street, could us a small act of service. So she was going to hurry over there, rake up the fallen leaves and then use those leaves in the garden. But before she could get the rake out of the garage she saw someone else raking and bagging those perfectly good leaves. (Blast! Someone beat us to it and now they are going to waste perfectly good leaves by disposing of them!)
(this final harvest include some monster green beens!)Next, trimming the trees is a fall activity (this is something that I am learning about and didn't know until I was married). Between trimming the trees and pulling the garden Michelle was able to put together a couple of beautiful fall arrangements. Who knew that yard clippings were actually a beautiful sight to behold?
But wait, there's more...Michelle didn't merely limit her creative mind to a couple of household arrangements. She continued to decorate and prepare our house for the upcoming holiday festivities. With Halloween just around the corner and Thanksgiving right on its heels, we have prepared our home for the holiday merriment.
