Autumn Leaves

Green leaves,

Yellow leaves,

Red leaves, and brown,

Falling,

Falling,

Blanketing the town.

Oak leaves,

Maple leaves,

Apple leaves, and pear,

Falling,

Whispering,

“Autumn’s in the air!”

Big leaves,

Little leaves,

Pointed leaves, and round,

Falling,

Nestling,

Carpeting the ground.

A Warm Fall Afternoon

Today we had a gorgeous day! It was sunny and warm. I spent much of it indoors but was able to "air" the house by turning off the heat and opening the windows. It's great to get some "natural" air running through the house specially when we know that soon we will close the windows and endure winter for several long months.

After I picked up the girls from school I decided to have a little photo shoot. I wanted the girls to wear something fallish looking in the orange or browns. Unfortunately they did not have anything like that, so we settled for purple. It was very warm so the sweaters and hats and scarves are just for looks, they really could have worn shorts and t-shirts.





I love taking pictures about an hour before sunset, the light is so great! It makes me wish I had a better camera than the little point and shoot I own. However, I think these still turned out pretty good.
