I love autumn leaves. There is something amazing about kicking your paws through them when you go for a walk. Then in the garden I can roll in them, bury my nose in them and send them up into the air. I\u2019m having to make do with the leaves as I\u2019ve now eaten all the pears that came down of the trees and I can\u2019t reach the rest of the apples which haven\u2019t fallen yet. I really need to get up to the vegetable troughs as I know Mum hasn\u2019t got round to getting all the veg out, so they must be a fun place to play next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, whilst I think about the vegetables, I\u2019m trying to work\nout which of the leaves will be the last to fall off. The cherry tree has\nalmost finished dropping her leaves so she\u2019s no going to win the prize. Last\nyear the big trees dropped theirs all at once when we had a sharp frost but it\u2019s\na more gradual process this year. It\u2019s a shame as Mum was going to do one of those\ntime-lapse film things to speed it up if it had happened in the same way this\nyear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The biggest problem with all the leaves is that it does make\nit very hard for Mum to clear up after us. It\u2019s like the garden has been booby-trapped\nto make it dangerous for Mum to walk around. We keep our noses close to the\nground so generally smell where not to walk. I\u2019ve suggested that approach to\nMum, but for reasons I don\u2019t understand she really isn\u2019t keen. It does make\ngoing outside with her quite funny as she is taking tiny little steps and looking\nall around her as though something is going to jump out at her. It does make\ngoing \u2018boo\u2019 awfully tempting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
