This is the most beautiful Autumn I have seen in years.
We were so surprised, as we had another summer of drought.

My back yard will need quite a bit of raking, but that's OK...
The front is not so bad, as the wind carries alot of them away, and we mulch the rest.

You can see the hiway that runs in front of our house. People would slow down to look at my red tree. The leaves are gone now, but it was beautiful....
Can't help but remember an old song by Nat King Cole, titled "Autumn Leaves"
The falling leaves drift by my window;
The Autumn leaves of red and gold;
I see your lips, the summer kisses, the
sunburned hands I use to hold....
Since you went away the days grow longer,
and soon I'll hear old winters song,
But I miss you most of all, my darling,
When the Autumn Leaves start to Fall......
