Oh how my neighbors must hate me...

This past weekend was compost weekend.  The days are getting cooler, Fall is slowly unfurling her cape and it is time to put the lawn to bed.

Strong Hands

Helping where he can
And when all was said and done we played (having already become accustom to the odor...
So much to touch
More Messes
Jared trying to end his football career at 8...
Nervous Mama
And all of us appreciating what the earth has given us this year by trying to give her a little offering in hopes of our next year being just as beautiful.
Enjoying the grass
