Just a few days ago, this bush was thick with bright crimson leaves as autumn was exhibiting its full glory all around town. Today was a crisp fall day with a brisk wind which made for a delightful day to be out and about. It also continued to send leaves swirling across yards. Of course the leaves have been falling for several days now, but today just put them into overdrive. It won't be long until there will be only bare limbs displayed everywhere.
This reminds me of a quote by George Cooper. While he mentions October, it fits today just as well. He wrote:
October gave a party, the leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples, and leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet, and everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing, Professor Wind the band,.
Enjoy the fall, for winter will soon arrive. We then will have to wait and suffer through the cold and bitter time until we again can get out and enjoy the beautiful days of Spring.
