As I'm outside raking leaves just now, I'm thinking about the memory that my aunt shared just a few days ago about how as kids, they'd put one playmate into a wheelbarrow, cover them up with leaves and then wheel them someplace in the neighborhood and have them try to guess where they were.
Makes me wish our wheelbarrow still worked.
But it also reminded me of my own fall memory.
We had leaves in our yard, but they were the little ones, not the fun big pretty colored ones. The big pretty ones were just a short walk away at the hospital. So instead of raking our own leaves, we'd head up there and rake the front lawn of the hospital.
And Then!
We'd hide in the leaves and scare people as they walked in or out.
Of the hospital!
oh my
FYI: your posts this week are especially awesome.

Scaring people at the hospital, now that sounds like fun. As I was reading about the leafy wheelbarrow ride, I wondered how many of the big kids covered up a little kid, parked the wheelbarrow, ran and hid and laughed uproariously when the little kid started to scream. Speaking of getting rides, I remember getting rides in my brother's newspaper cart...
