Soccer Practice

Browns Branch County Park is a great little park with a playground and short trail. While my oldest son practiced soccer, the younger kids enjoyed the playground and the dog and I often explored the trail.
One warm evening, while watching the boys play soccer, we watched in awe as a kid with a cannon as a leg, launched the team soccer ball into the woods. The dog and I set down the path to see if we could find it. We only made it about 23 paces past the second bridge before my dog had to stop at a stump along the side of the trail to inspect something.  As I tried to pull her along, I looked across the ditch to find a multi-limbed tree and the soccer ball was right there. How on earth did it get covered with leaves already?
