They're baaaaaack!

The giant trees in our yard have celebrated the abrupt arrival of freezing cold weather by dumping their leaves within a week. We are seriously considering hiring a professional raker this year to deal with the leaf carpet, as the leaf cleanup task gets more unsavory every year.

We had a break from the sub-arctic temperatures today, so Josh and Molly spent some time with the leaves. The above picture is not a good sign for upcoming attempts at a Christmas photo.
