Tell me, what is the best thing, your favorite thing to do on the Saturday after a laughter-filled, turkey-laden holiday with friends and family?
For us it was doing the unplanned: relaxing and reading the paper around the table until 10am, playing and joking, and watching the kids chase each other around the kitchen. When the wee ones (ie Towhead) got a bit too rambunctious (imagine a rubber ball bouncing off the walls at every possible angle) we jokingly told her to go out to rake up all the leaves in the backyard.
And she did!
Of course we couldn’t resist joining in the fun.
“Again! Again!” was the refrain of the day.
We had intended to rake up just enough leaves to jump in.
But Towhead kept demanding more, higher. All the leaves.
The next thing we knew we had raked up all the leaves.
The leaves did all make it into the compost . . . eventually.
It’s times like these that weave us closer and hold us together.
