Mmm, leaves

26 October 2008

The leaves, they were raked. I filled a bin liner full of them and Mother Nature, upon seeing my work, today said, “Ok, well here, have some rain that makes more leaves fall off the trees and into your garden.” I’m going to need another bin liner.

Last night we went to a bonfire night celebration with John and Sam. A little early, as bonfire night is 5th November, but what the hell. There was a great bonfire with flames licking up into the sky and a pretty fireworks display that ended with a fantastic shower of golden sparks raining down across the sky. We were stood ankle-deep in the fallen yellow leaves from a sycamore tree and after all my raking earlier in the day I had a hard time not pulling them into little piles with my feet.

Afterwards we headed to John and Sam’s in their new ~~car~~ ~~vehicle~~ tank, a Chevrolet Suburban, mowing down cars and pedestrians alike as we went. Dinner was deliciously autumnal: carrot and coriander soup, followed by sausage casserole. Following that with a snooze in the car on the way home rounded off a pretty good evening.

By the way, I’m thinking of doing 30 Tiny Moments again – and therefore NaBloPoMo too – in November. Anyone care to ~~take a leaf out of my book~~ join me?

Last night’s dinner sounds divine. YUM.

I’d be interested in doing 30 Tiny Moments again…I think we don’t necessarily have to POST everyday, just shoot everyday, right? Because, ahem, I will be on a cruise and internetless for some days in November. But I’ll have great photos!

Yeah, I reckon you can play catch up with 30 Tiny Moments. And by the way, being on a cruise is just showing off.

30 Tiny Moments and NaBloPoMo at the same time? Sounds like either a lot of work… or a really good idea! I think I may go with the latter and join you as well.
