Fall comes to New York


The giant leaf pile

Reflective fall leaves at Silver Stream Reservoir

I love fall, and I love the colors, but I hate the leaves. This big pile was the fifth pile we cleaned up that day. We cleaned up a total of 58 30-gallon leaf bags, for a total of 1740 gallons of leaves. This was the 2nd time (out of 3 times) we had to clean up leaves.  The other times we only had between 18-20 bags each time.  The only reason this is fun is so the kids can play in the leaves. The piles were so big they jumped off a step stool.

There’s also a very small window to get pictures of the fall colors. One day after getting the kids off to school, Kate and I ran around and took pictures of the fall leaves by the lake and by the trestle.
