Thanksgiving 30 Day Challenge: Day 25



A hard frost late last week put an end to all the beautiful fall foliage. So yesterday my husband and I spent a good 6 hours gathering leaves (yes, we have that many) for the compost. I caught a glimpse of this Japanese Maple leaf as the morning light shone through it. It was a stunning glow and was extra special as it was the last one hanging on.

Today I am thankful for the little joys found in my day.

  1. Yes, it's that time of year. I have spent several hours the last couple of days raking leaves. But it's been so warm and sunny it's pleasure to be outside.

  2. It looks beautiful! I have to look high and low to capture some leaves with Autumn colors.

  3. I love Japanese maples and wish I had one. Lucky you! Those leaves are stunning. I still have a few hanging onto my dogwood. They just refuse to give up.

  7. composting is one of the most satisfying operation when it comes to find a reason for why do we spend so much time collecting leaves every year !
