Fall in Tennessee is beautiful--the trees, colors, and weather are perfect. The kids have always loved playing in outside in a big pile of leaves. It is one of the few jobs that they all pitch in and help with very little resistance. I love the smell of leaves and usually jump in myself. Here are Parker and Eliza on a "sick day". We also "re-planted" our peach trees after reading that they need well-drained soil. We added some sand to break up the clay that they were in--hopefully that will help them flourish. The yard is full again with leaves from the late dropping trees--but the novelty of playing in them has worm off and it is getting colder. I guess I'd better get out there and get it done before too long. Although last year I didn't get it finished and the earth didn't spin off its axis. We'll see what happens.
