It was time. Time to rake the leaves. The weather was beautiful and it was the perfect day to be out working. The kids and John raked the whole yard in one day. It is so amazing to me what we are now capable of. Rather than the kids being work-creators, they are now work-accomplishers.

I was feeling better today, but not up to such physical work and also not wanting all that dust and dirt in my sinuses. I stayed inside and worked on filing a drawerful of papers and started the taxes. Not as fun, certainly, but probably a wise choice.
