Leaves

There are not many trees in Oklahoma. It is rather frustrating that the developers in this area cut down every tree in an area before the start building on it. Consequently, Benjamin has yet to see a yard overtaken with leaves. We visited some family the week before Thanksgiving. The moment he ran in the leaves he thought the long drive was worth it. He pointed to the leaves and looked at me with questioning eyes that asked, "Mom, what is this on the ground and why haven't I seen this sooner!?" Thank God for trees and leaves.
