Too many leaves!

Mum, there’s too many leaves!  I know I dropped the ball but how on earth do you expect me to find it in all these leaves?  Ireland and the UK were battered by Storm Ophelia yesterday and overnight it’s been very windy where we live, stripping lots of leaves from the trees and even breaking one in half.  Maybe we’ll find it in the spring.  At least it was only a 50p ball, not another Chuckit.
