Summary: Lisa and her parents have fun cleaning up autumn leaves.<br> <br> Narrator: Male<br> <br> Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:36<br> Leafy Fun! Excerpt:<br> Lisa gazed out the window at her front yard. All she could see was leaves. There wasn’t even a glint of green – neither green grass nor green leaves. Instead the ground was a wash of warm, autumnal colors: all shades of brown, sprinkled here and there with pops of red, orange, and golden yellow. Lisa knew what that meant. Time to rake leaves!<br> <br> Just then her mom walked into her room and said, “Hi, hon! I could use your help with something.”<br> <br> Lisa turned to look at her mom. “Leaves?”<br> <br> “How did you know?” Her mom smiled.<br> <br> Lisa’s dad came into her room, looked out the window, and said “Well, I don’t know, dear. Maybe we should wait. That maple tree still has one leaf on it.”<br> <br> All three of them laughed, but Lisa said, “You’re silly, dad! But we should really clean the yard today, while the weather’s still good! We could get snow soon!"<br> Today’s Meditation: Relax in the grass as you imagine sunlight warming you from head to toe.<br> Looking for a podcast to help settle your child in for <a href="https://www.ahwayisland.com/nap-time/">nap time, bedtime or a break</a>?  You'll find it on Ahway Island®.
