I drove to Newcastle Airport this morning – the leaves are scattering in the wind. On the road the leaves are jewel like. However those who have leaves all over their lawns, drive and pavement are seeing them less as jewels and more as work. I’ve raked up leaves into piles and then bagging them. In Eugene Oregon and in Edmonton Canada.

A reader sent me this link to this video of a dog, a Husky, enjoying a pile of leaves. Love seeing animals just playing for the joy of it. Sometimes I felt like I was playing when raking up leaves….all a matter of attitude I guess.
