Saw the blue sky this morning and thought it looks like a rockstar day. Stepped outside and the chilly temps broke my heart. Saw all the leaves on the ground and I hit the roof. Put all my sweaters on the table. Spared no expense on coffee. Then I got laser focused on some bacon.
Saw the neighbours passing doobies. I yelled "What're ya doin, ya Yahoos?!" I was shocked the leaves were falling in autumn. Made raking the leaves my number 1 priority. Created a robust and massive plan to make a pile of leaves. Kids belong in leaf piles, I thought to myself.
Decided to create the leaf pile one leaf at a time, because kids wouldn't understand the leaf pile if I built it all at once. I saw the kids were jumping into the four or five leaves and hurting themselves, so I made jumping in the leaf pile by appointment only.
