Thankful: Day 12

I am thankful for fall yard work.  Yesterday afternoon the rain broke and we got a window of sunshine...perfect for the only yard work we'll get done all fall.  Lance mowed and Ephraim raked.  The most important thing is that with having mowed the lawn in November we won't have blades of grass peeking through snow (should we be lucky enough to get some this year).  Is it just me who has issues with grass ruining the beautiful blanket of snow? Anyone?

(Yes, I totally opened the window to take this photo- I was at my desk working!)
