Saying good-bye to Autumn

Saying Good-bye to Autumn

  October here has been beautifully, breathtaking, beyond belief!  I awoke this morning to whirling wind and pelting rain.  The leaves are falling fast now... taking with them the hues of color which engulf my senses.  Nothing is quite like Autumn.

 Sunshine peeking through the yellow leaves glisten and delight the child who begs for them to fall slowly but soon.  

 A child's playground is created- a pile of leaves and laughter!  The days of Autumn are beginning to slumber. Leaves drop...time passes  as if gathering into a ball of yarn.  I beg for them to stay- just a little while...

 The trees shadow us, recording the days of our lives in the passing of each season.  Time and season are intertwined stealing our youth preparing all for the dormant days of winter which soon will belong to each of us.

I will grab the moments under the branches when her smile stole my heart and the laughter of her eyes was mine forever.  Yes, the leaves are falling down!
