we planted this tree in the backyard last year because i wanted leaves to fall...
(our tree in the front yard stays green year round)
the girls spotted leaves on the ground and needed to take a closer look.
(now, i realize that this tree is trying to survive the relentless heatwave, but we had our first rain shower in a very long time which made the dead leaves fall to the ground...but all my kids could see were fall leaves :)
cari had the idea to pick up as many as she could before dad mowed...
so we grabbed a basked and went to picking...
the weather was the best that we have had in a VERY long time...
being outside with the girls during a cool breeze and seeing all the leaves on the ground...
put an excitement in my heart that only fall can do.
so we are grabbing on to fall early this year despite the weather!!!
Cool breeze?? Well I guess cooler than the blazing hot! LOL :)
ReplyDeleteOur trees in our front yard change color and loose their leaves. They too have been trying to survive this heat tidal wave. :)
I can't wait for Fall!
P.S. How is your grass still even green!!!???
