The View from my Bay Window, Part 2

Remember that beautiful fall picture I took a couple of weeks ago? Well, this is the view out of my bay window now. Snow. Under all that snow lies millions of leaves I never raked up. I kept waiting for more leaves to fall off the trees so I wouldn't have to rake more than once. The kids and I did rake a very small patch of lawn on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon - November 2 - and filled the snowmobile trailer with leaves. We had no way to haul the leaves to the dump and John was busy in the field so we just left the leaves in the trailer. Now the trailer is in the barn and the leaves will decompose over the winter. Unless the snow melts and the weather gets nice again. Dream on. This is Minnesota we live in. I have a horrible feeling that the snow is here to stay. Oh well, too late now.
