Falltime in Minnesota

Every year we make a big production out of raking leaves. We figured out a few years back that we were spending a huge amount of time bagging leaves. Ramsey County (where we live) has a compost site about 3 miles away, so it works out very nicely to just load the back of the truck with leaves and drive them over there. We end up getting the entire yard done in just a few hours. I think I estimated a few years back that I can put the equivalent of around 20 bags of leaves into the back of the truck.

This year, Alex had fun playing in the back of the truck as we were filling it up. He is joined by Lizzy (on the left) and Meghan:
