THE END OF THE MISSION

using the panoramic feature on my camera phone, i tried to capture the sheer massive-ness of the pile of leaves that are now barricading our front yard! the pile is 4 feet tall and about 80 feet long... that, my friends, is a lot of leaves.

i just hope the wind doesnt scatter them too far out before the city can pick them up!!

WANNA KNOW WHY THEY CALL IT FALL?

because the leaves... they be a'falling!!! our yard is covered in about 4 inches of fall foliage.

here is the batch of pumpkin muffins that i made this morning as nourishment for the two men of the household - as they battle autumn leaves:

sugar daddy -- hard at work

the barbarian - also hard at work

now that's a lot of leaves and they arent even done yet! whew!
