The Last Leaves of Fall

I don't ever want to live anywhere that doesn't have the four seasons like we have in the northeast.


Maybe it is just what I am used to and what comforts me.


But I have lived many places with much different climates and I always missed spring and fall.


When I lived much farther north, spring and fall came and went before you noticed.


The leaves did not show the beautiful colors I was used to.


I never want to miss out on colors like these again.


Soon this will be ice.


The side path is visible again.



The snake knot has lost it's green backdrop.


New leaves have joined the maples.


The locusts are almost bare.


Their leaves cover the ground.





And the pool cover.


And my raised beds.


Even Teddy gets her share of leaves.

I hope that those of you that don't get to enjoy fall had a vicarious fall experience through me this year!

I will be back tomorrow and will be posting pics of this trip.
