Before all that happened, we had a nice day in our yard raking leaves. It wasn't as warm as today but working hard raking and hauling leaves it was perfect weather at about 50 degrees.
Everyone got in on the act!
Here are the girls in the middle of our HUGE pile of leaves. They wouldn't stop raking until it was high enough to sit in it with just their heads sticking out. 
After finally getting a great smile out of both of them, Emily decided to goof around with her sister.
Poor Callie is still trying to give me a smile.
Well, no more smile but they were having fun.
Then Emily took it to the next level and started throwing the leaves at Callie. All I could think of was all the re-raking we were going to have to do.
Now they are getting serious about throwing leaves.
They had a good time with some fresh air. We spent the rest of the day raking and hauling the leaves. The girls pooped out about 1/2 an hour after I took these pictures. Todd and I were at it until dark. Yesterday, we took a beautiful walk in the woods. We went to Mine Falls Park where they have some great paved walking/biking paths. There are also non paved paths you can go on. It was such a beautiful day and of course I took some pictures. So next up will be our Fall Hike.

Such beautiful pictures from a very talented Gretchen and of course, beautiful subjects. Callie as a nerd for the halloween party actually looks like a mini Todd!! Thanks Gretchen, it is the next best thing to being there with all of you.
i had fun rakeing leaves with you!!
Wow you are all an industrious lot (no choice, huh?). Between the leaves and when you had your firewood delivered (and all the lovely fall walks), you can't be lazy at the Beard household. Way to go!
