It's autumn!

Even though it's fall, the weather has been so crazy that it seems our trees haven't noticed yet. We have maybe 5 leaves in the yard. Mom's trees are the same way. Mom's neighbor, however, has trees that can read a calendar! He was outside mowing to mulch them, but mom ran over and asked him to stop so Luca could play. And because Luca is sort of the grandson to many of mom's neighbors, he stopped. =)

First Luca helped rake. Tines down this year! But he would put the rake in the middle of the pile and pull out, spreading the leaves out.

He jumped in the pile and asked to get right back out again. More raking and he would jump once again. As with all new experiences, once he warmed up to what was going on he had a blast! Jumping in the leaves, throwing them, running through them, and then raking them back together again. He played for at least an hour!

I love his face! =)

Our trees are just starting to turn, so he might get to play in the leaves some more!
