Fall

This autumn I have gained new appreciation and understanding for the name "Fall." As a teacher in Houston, I purchased these fake fallen leaves to decorate my classroom. Now they make their way to my mantel during October and November. But this year, in our new home, it seems ironic to have these inside when my yard looks like this. The leaves just keep falling and falling. Today I filled 9 huge yard waste bags. And the trees are still full of leaves. Hooray for Fall!
