jump into a big pile of leaves

You know, this is surprisingly hard to achieve in a city environment! You don’t find big piles the same way as in the countryside (which I’m more used to), you can’t really go into people’s yards and parks are tricky too, because they tend to wheelbarrow away all the leaf piles once you’ve spotted them. So this was most definitely a real challenge.
But! We did succeed in the end! I figured yesterday that this was our last chance to complete this, because it had started snowing a lot and soon it would be quite impossible to find piles of leaves anymore. Winter has begun. Also, I spotted a huge pile of leaves from the bus in the afternoon, so Juho and I agreed to storm it in the evening.
Our pile was mostly of birch leaves, I think, and it was a bit snowy and damp as well. But that didn’t bother us too much, it was a great pile anyway. Very tall and wide. The landing was very soft and jumping itself was a lot of fun! :) Felt good to get this done finally!

We’re most definitely doing this again next autumn, hoping to find a lovely, crunchy and colourful pile of maple leaves or something like that. It’ll become our little autumn tradition. ‘Til the next time, then!

Last night when Juho and I walked back to my place from the theatre, we were keeping our eyes open for leaf piles. We didn’t spot any, which was surprising, since I’ve seen them around lately. When we got to my yard, Juho started shuffling some of the leaves into a little pile and I started helping him. It’s a shame that they just got rid of most of the leaves in my front yard, we could have gotten a nice pile there. But this little one was fun too!
There was a rock right next to the pile, perfectly situated, so we had a cool platform for jumping.
Can’t wait to jump into a bigger pile, though – I really want to be able to dive into one!

We’re keeping a close eye on the leaves, oh yes, we are. No big piles yet, though. But we will surely find one or two.. or more!

I’ll re-open this goal now so that I definitely won’t forget to jump into a nice, big pile of leaves this autumn! :D

It’s raining again. :c I don’t really want to jump into a pile of wet leaves.
I think I might have lost my window of opportunity with this one, sigh. A couple of weeks ago the weather was just perfect but my sickness was holding me back. :s It seems like it’s going to keep on raining for quite some time now. Shame.

Finally! Maybe? Let’s hope so!
At least we have Big Plans. ;)

much fun, youfeel like a kid again!!!!!!!

the leaves haven’t even grown back since they last fell off…I guess I’ve got a few months before I can do this one.
