There are many things I love about fall in New England but nothing more than the changing leaves! The colors are always so magical and I stand in awe of the beauty.
For some this magical feeling can suddenly turn to dread as they remember they need to actually rake those leaves but for me I enjoy the process. This weekend it was warm enough for me to enjoy being outside! We turned up the music and got to raking and 7 hours later we were done!
I absolutely love the way a yard looks after it has been cleared of all the leaves, the grass looks greener and everything feels so fresh! I also love the sense of accomplishment that comes with this hard work and how I feel "house proud" after! Some people save time and have the landscaper come and get rid of the leaves but for me I think I will enjoy the time outside and the exercise I get! Now once the snow comes.....I will happily hire the snowplow guy!
Enjoy the new week!

I was born and raised on Long Island, NY and that's one thing that I really missed since I've moved - driving to the New England states to really enjoy the colors.
Pretty pictures!
Agreed - there is nothing like spending a Saturday getting things done around the house and yard, and then settling in for a relaxing dinner and enjoying the fruits of your labor!
