Last weekend dawned glorious and mild.
The autumn leaves lay heaped up and knee-deep…
Who could resist their invitation to dive in and take a leaf bath?
The kids couldn’t…
And neither could I!
My daughter caught me dancing with leaves.
Meanwhile, Oscar enjoyed the autumn sunshine
In a more dignified manner.

What a lovely post! When the grandchildren were small we used to go to the Botanical Gardens and bury ourselves in the heaps of leaves . . . the gardeners were not amuse but we certainly were.
I am having immense problems uploading a photo to the link, it keeps on bringing a photo from weeks ago and there is no way I can change it. Since the photo is of grey water, it is not exactly inviting to come and see the wonders my present world offers. I am really at my wit’s end. Even with the wrong photo it wipes out my ULR so I cannot be found. I wonder what God or Mr.Linky are playing at? Can you help? In the older version of Mr.Linky I never had a problem.

We don’t have autumn leaves falling like this in abundance – only where someone might have a tree that sheds it leaves – Australian trees don’t do that – so I have no idea what this feels like – but it looks like fun! Have a wonderful week and thank you for stopping by my blog this week.
