Autumn Leaves

The Teddy Bears Help In The Garden

Autumn is one of the bears' favourite seasons. Especially if the weather is warm and dry as it has been recently.

The leaves on the trees are all changing colour. They are no longer green, but they are now yellow and orange and red and maroon and scarlet! They look really lovely and make a beautiful sight when the bears go out on their walks.

What is especially nice in the Autumn is when all the leaves start to fall from the trees and they all pile up on the ground and when you walk over them they are all crisp and crackly. And, of course, you can't help but kick through the piles as you walk along, sending them scattering into the air to keep falling down again and again!

The leaves are also falling off the trees in the garden. The bears decided to make the garden tidy by raking up all the leaves and putting them in a bucket so that they could then put them in a big black bag to make some leaf mould - which is especially good surrounding their garden plants and in their vegetable beds.

Once the black bag is full of leaves, it can be tied up and some airholes made in it, which will keep it from going soggy, and then left somewhere out of the way until next Spring.
