Mixed Emotions

I am so ready for all the leaves to be off the trees. I have raked and blowed leaves for about 3 weeks now and there isn't an end any time soon. We basically live in the woods and while most of the 4 seasons it is lovely,including the fall, the leaves are over whelming.

I have also been going through some Christmas things to get a little better organized for the holidays. I found this little momento in one of the boxes. I think I have kept everything the girls ever did, I probably have their first poopy diaper somewhere ( just kidding) Here is a little someting that is about 25 years old and the little girl just turned 30 in August.
