Kaida was great today while we worked on getting all the leaves off the lawn. First off, she slept long enough for us to get the rest of the yard raked (we got about 2/3 done on Tuesday). We managed to haul about half of the piles into the woods before she woke up.

After a lunch break we all went outside and she happily wandered around while we hauled away the rest of the leaves. Then she played with the recycling while JR mowed and I raked leaves out from under the bushes and hedges.

Her second nap (which has been getting very short lately, about a half hour) actually lasted about 35 minutes. She didn't wake up while I weed whacked with the gas weed whacker. So that was good.

When she did wake up we went outside again and she let both of us mow at the same time. She mostly just stood on the tarp and played with the recycling. Eventually she did wander up the hill a little but was playing with some moss so she didn't go too far. While we cleaned up, though, she found the steps up to the deck. Luckily we only needed to re-route her from there 2 or 3 times.

She was very good. I was afraid she would just scream if we were both running a lawn mower but she seemed ok with it. And that made finishing up the yard go super fast, well, super fast for our yard.
I'm sure it will be all leafy again tomorrow but we live near the woods, there's not much we can do about it. I think we're done for the year though.
