I used to love a book when I was younger, by Shel
Silverstein. The title of the book is The Giving Tree.
It is the story of a tree that gives everything to a
little boy who grows to be a man.
We have a back yard full of Giving Trees. Just giving,
giving their leaves.
Last Fall, I remember bagging and raking and bagging
and raking and bagging and raking leaves. I am
dreading fall this year due to the gigantic trees in
our backyard. I love the shade and privacy they
provide, but not the leaves.
So this year I am going to keep a tally of sorts, of
the leaves I have raked. Well not the leaves, but the
big garbage bags that we have filled.
That way when Next Fall comes, I know what I am in
for, and know how long it is going to last!
