Finally, fall...you have come!
My little sisters anxiously await for you. They love to cover our cars with crisp leaves and to jump into huge piles of them. Their smiles are priceless. Their laughter is delightful to hear. This tradition of leave raking and jumping started years ago when my older siblings were still young enough to want to do that stuff. Ben used to get the biggest piles raked up, Bekah knew the best leaves to find, and Melanie showed me and Aaron how to jump correctly and how to land. What I would give to go back to that time, before they all grew up and passed on. Now as I am writing this, Lydia and Angie and our dog Gabby are outside loving the weather and carrying on the tradition. Perhaps I'll go out and join them. After all, somebody's gotta teach them how to jump correctly. (:
