I raked the leaves on our front lawn;
It took all afternoon.
I started at ’round half past one
and said, “I’ll be done soon.”
But once I saw how more leaves fell
Each time I made a pile,
I quickly saw this outdoor chore
Was going to take a while.
And so I did what my dad said
A winner does to win:
I studied that great pile of leaves,
And then I jumped right in.

Great colors.
Fabulous piece, Deann. The look of glee on both the dog's and boy's faces just makes me grin from ear to ear. I have wonderful memories of the children doing this. While we didn't have a dog and the cat declined to join in the fun, it was great joy all around.
This is adorable. Thanks for playing :)
