"We All Fall Down"

All our beautiful leaves are starting to fall down now. What a gorgeous autumn it has been with spectacular colors. 

Now it is time to rake and use the Billy Goat power blower to make less work in the spring. However, only one of us will be doing that work (me!) because the other one (Dave!) has torn the lateral meniscus of his right knee while getting onto the New Holland Tractor yesterday. He had to crawl to the house because he couldn't bear weight and heard a pop with excruciating pain. Now he is on crutches, but luckily no surgery is needed. The doctor said his pain will dictate how much he can do and it is hard to keep him immobile to heal anyway. In another week he has a follow up appointment and hopefully we will still be able to head south after that. Driving doesn't bother him, because it is non-weight bearing. We will wait and see how he recovers though. So we all better not fall down...especially me. I better stay upright! It felt so good to actually walk in and out of the ortho doctor's office on my own two feet, unlike a few years ago.
