Autumn Leaves Are A-Falling

"Autumn leaves are a-falling;
Red and yellow and brown;
Autumn leaves are a-falling,
See them fluttering down...
Autumn leaves when they're tired,
Settle down in a heap,
At the foot of the old tree,
Soon they'll all fall asleep."






The once soft, green grass that we used to run barefoot in is now covered with a blanket of autumn leaves. The trees are beautiful shades of orange, yellow, and red...colors we rarely saw in Texas. But unfortunately just as fast as they seem to fall from the trees, the city has them raked and hauled off. We still have found plenty of places to picnic on the autumn colors and collect handfuls of leaves for projects at home.


I may regret saying this in a few more months but I have really enjoyed experiencing 'seasons.' Since I have lived in Texas my entire life (minus 3 months in Florida), I have only seen the 4 seasons during vacations. I may not approve of the length of each season here but they are all very different, and so far beautiful. I have to say that autumn has been my favorite, excluding the rain.
