Because it wouldn't be fall without it

Well, it is November.  With Halloween over, and the need for a spooky front yard atmosphere past, it was time to do a little fall cleaning.

Since it was nap time for the others, I enlisted my little helper for a very important job only she could do.

And boy, did she ever deliver!

She was rather pleased with herself, and she and I raked the leaves several more times so that she could delight in undoing it all.

That little face.  It always seems to be fall when I reflect on just how much she's grown!
