[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Crafting from nature

Mon Oct 4 20:25:29 UTC 2021

I think us kids scattered more of them than we raked and got into garbage bags to put out on the curb! We threw them at each other too and get them in ears hair probably some pockets and underwear! What a sight!

We had a corner lot on the block so you can imagine all the leaves. I think the tree that was between our lot and the neighbors was an oak tree. That also shed a lot. I did the mowing and sometimes we would mower with the bagger on. Then dad would use it as a mulch. The leaves are mixed with the grass. It smells so good! It is so much easier than raking up the leaves.
