Monday Memories: Autumn

Our yard is currently buried under a thick blanket of leaves. We’re trying to wait til most all of them have fallen before we schedule a clean-up. I recently read that a thin layer of leaves over your yard and flowerbeds is a good thing for the ecosystem and is beneficial to wildlife, insects and the soil. And that we shouldn’t be too quick to dispose of them, so that’s good news.

But with all these leaves around, I remembered a couple of vintage photos of me when I was about three years old, so I went through some boxes and found them.

That must have been a heavy basket of leaves.

I think most parents have their little ones throw up a handful of leaves for a photo.

And, somewhere in all these pictures I have, I’m fairly certain there’s one of Marshall playing in leaves. But, I had no luck finding that one.

So, instead, I’m sharing a picture of him beside a little autumn yard decor.  This was when he was two.

And when I find that picture of him playing in the leaves, I just may post it on Memory Monday….even if it isn’t the fall season.
