Leaves





I love the trees of Evanston--mature trees are everywhere, spreading leafy canopies down tree-lined streets. Evanston's trees are rich with nuts and seeds and pods of all kinds for us to play with--Kentucky coffee pods, cottonwoods that provide spiky balls for us to roll down the slides at the park, buckeyes for us to stomp open and expose the rich, smooth seeds inside...We finally created time to actually rake the leaves that were covering our yard for weeks. It was a family project. Here are some pictures.
