Deforestation

I finally cut down the ridiculous flowers around my mailbox. I don't know what my issue was. For some reason I just couldn't bring myself to cut them down while they were still blooming. I was secretly praying for a killing frost so they'd die of natural causes and I wouldn't have guilt about hacking them down. How insane is that? Well, it's officially October now and I somehow justified that it was time for them to go.

Megan helped. The tree trunks were a bit too much for her trimming scissors, though!
Poor, executed flowers waiting to be picked up as "soft yard waste."
Nick was not fearful of branches falling on his head....he was on his scooter moments before he decided to jump in the leaves.
Megan is always up for a photo shoot. She put her own outfit together this day. It was a winner. It's all Gymboree, but it does NOT all match!

LOL!

wished i could have helped you with the 'deforestation' project. we totally could have taken out our frustrations together on your 'soft yard waste!' :)
