There's nothing like having good help and here's a good example of it. Mary Jane and Betsy Jo helped their daddy rake leaves earlier in the week. True, their purpose was self-serving: they wanted to jump up and down into the pile of leaves. But they and Daddy all busted out their leaf utensils and worked hard for a few minutes before giving into the temptation of flopping into a pile of leaves or jumping up and down in them like they were muddy puddles.
Dog walker and mothers in strollers all just had to smile. There's nothing like the pure unmitigated joy in watching two girls frolic in a pile of leaves. And this being Los Angeles in March... who knows when those leaves will return for another stomping.
