Autumn Leaves

Walking home from church on Sunday it dawned on me that this is the first place we have lived in a while where those paper bags for collecting leaves aren't mandated. A policy that will no doubt work to the delight of our kids for a few years to come. And to the chagrin of the unfortunate mother who must add "leaves" to the list of things to be brushed out of A's hair (that list already typically includes tangles, yogurt and toothpaste).
