Day 422 of new travel experiences giving smiles – raking the leaves from the frontyard as a good form of exercise.

Have you ever enjoyed the natural beauty of  a tree  when it is at full bloom at one moment and then looks equally beautiful  when it effortlessly sheds all its leaves within a few days? 

Well I never realized that if those leaves happen to fall in ones frontyard, then somebody has to clear all the leaves and pack them in huge garbage bags and dispose them properly.

So one morning on day 56 of our long trip, my husband volunteered to do some raking of leaves..we have always read about this or seen it in movies but haven’t done so ourselves. 

And it is not as easy as it looks. when i realized the effort it involved, I just decided to relax and take a picture of the process instead.

And the sight of a clean front yard is a cause for a nice smile…and then the wind blows and then the leaves fall down again!
