Farewell Fall

We enjoyed the last warm days of Fall. I had to turn the sprinklers on to water the poor, thirsty trees. We knew there was a storm in the extended forecast though that would bring the freezing winds of change. The wind was disrobing the poplar trees; leaves floated around then crunched beneathe our feet. It was fun to hear them rustle as Ava and Isaac skipped into a golden pile...............

"Come, little leaves," said the wind one day,

"Come o'er the meadows with me and play:

Put on your dresses of red and gold -

For summer is gone and the days grow cold."

"Swinging on delicate hinges

the Autumn Leaf

Almost off the stem"

-  Jack Kerouac

The temperatures literally went from 70 to 30.......just like that.

Farewell Fall 2012!
