The downside

The downside to having a great piece of property with lots of mature trees is the gathering of the leaves. Rod and I spent a good 4-5 hours out there raking leaves onto a tarp and hauling them off into the field. I think he made 10 or 11 trips. We're both going to be sore the next few days. And it started out 34 degrees and sunny. By the time we were done, it was 29 and snowing! Victoria hung out with us, all bundled up, and loved it!

I think your daughter has always loved being outside especially when it's cooler/cold. Sure looks like she was having fun. Love those smiling eyes. Love and hugs, Mom

Wait until the day she runs and jumps in those leaves, she's gonna love the piles and you'll enjoy watching her! Colleen

Love the pictures! The little cowgirl is the cutest too! Glad to see you take her right outside with you to enjoy the fresh air. She looks like she is having fun too! I bet you guys are both sore though!! I got a letter in the mail yesterday from the FOP and it was a check for $25 from their raffle! YIPPEE!! St. Ignace here I come! Have a GREAT Anniversary and sorry again we can't babysit. I'm sure she will be in good hands with Steven doting on her! Love, Mom (Penny)
