spring Clean Up

So, last year, we raked and raked and raked some more leaves and couldn't keep up with them. We raked the ones from our yard, but then the ones from the neighbor's yard would blow into our yard. We were never able to keep up with them. We still have leaves in our yard from last year. So, Jim asked the Landlord if we could cut down some of the trees. He said that was fine. We cut down the ones that were closest to our house and are going to make a horse shoe shape out of pine trees, or some other non leaf producing tree, and put a picnic table in the middle.
The twigs and small branches that were left over from cutting down the trees, were used to make a fire and we roasted marshmallows.
Sally had to be locked up because she kept barking at the flames and it was already 11 at night. It was funny because she looked like she wanted to play with the fire. Once she was locked up for a while, we gave her a second chance and she realized she couldn't bark and she laid down next to the fire.
