Leaves at the cabin

Look at all the leaves that have fallen around the cabin! And I have one question...






Who is going to rake all these lovely leaves?






Anyone?







Hey! Greg and Scout - where do you think you two are going???

    The leaves look beautiful! Ours are just turning now. We finally had our first frost Saturday night. I can't wait to get out and take some pictures.

    My DH's solution for raking is the wind! lol

    Take Care,
    Debbie

    Shelley,
    If it's any consolation...we have just as many leaves at our house Drives me so crazy! I want one of those big tractors that has a hose attached that you can vacuum the leaves up with...wouldn't that be great?

    Sure! They disappear when there is work to be done. But as soon as the leaves are raked and in a nice pile I bet scout will be around to jump in it. Am I right?

    Love the leaves. Wish we had some pretty red ones to play in instead of the dry dusty brown ones.
    No one has to rake out in the woods do they ??? (o:

    So pretty Shelley.
    Do they really have to be raked? Don't they just turn into nice compost on the ground for the spring??????
    I won't complain about my 3 palm fronds that fell this weekend then. :)

    Ohhh... the cabin and surrounding area looks so lovely and so peaceful in all its autumn splendor. How gorgeous. I say leave the leaves there for a few days. ;) It looks so picturesque!

    I'll come and rake your leaves, Shel... IF you let me stay in your pretty little cabin... I love to rake leaves into big piles and then play in the leaves. The 'inner' child (and 'outer' child) comes out!!!!! ha

    Great pictures!!!!
    Hugs,
    Betsy

    I agree with Suz...why do they have to be raked? The wind will blow them around sooner or later and the remaining ones are good compost.

    Every fall since we built in the woods my husband smiles because the leaves just fall to the forest floor. We do blow the driveway every now and then.

    If Greg and Scout are headed out for a walk, I guess you will be raking the leaves! :) What beautiful photos,...

    Oh your pictures here are so beautiful Shelley. We LOVE Michigan too (and have the best memories of the year we spent there) & seeing your gorgeous Fall photos makes me want to visit and take in all it's beauty ♥

    Rake them? RAKE THEM?
    No one!
    Heck, they make great mulch and they protect your yard all winter...Just rake a little in the spring.
    There.
    Done deal.
    Your cabin is gorgeous in the fall setting, don't you just love the smell when it is fall and the leaves are all like that? YUM!

    Rake 'em? Hah! LOL - I like the look of 'em and the crunch, so I just leave 'em. I don't know where they go, but once I mow in Spring, they're gone. Guess they just mulch up into fertilizer. Gorgeous Fall yard!

    I will help, really I will. I was wondering if you could wait until a strong wind comes along. Does that help your leaf situation? I am sure Greg and Scout wanted a brisk walk before they tackled the big leaf job. Beautiful photos!

    Ok, now you'll know I'm crazy. I like raking leaves. I always have. It's . . . therapeutic. Kind of like cleaning the pool! LOl.
    Go ahead! "Karen, you're nuts! SCOUT! GREG! Get back here!"

    It certainly looks as if autumn is beautiful around your cabin. I know someone who loves to rake leaves, but I won't let her go to Michigan without me!

    Hi Shelley, I came across your blog on New England Cabin and love it. We are renovating an old watermill in France and I have a blog about it. Would you like to exchange links. The blog is http://lemoulinaeau.blogspot.com/

    Nice blog but I wouldn't call that a log cabin, I'd call it a home. Have never built one myself even though I've lived off the grid a few times.

    *I've temporarily have had to put on comment moderation due to an overload of spammer comments - sorry!

    Still pretty green here, very mild winters here in fact and what does turn soon returns.
