While fall isn’t my favourite season, I do like the changing colours – that is, I like the leaves when they are still on the trees. It is when the wind blows and the leaves fall to the ground that I am not so pleased. On the ground, the leaves simply obliterate the edges of the path where I am walking. They spread over the pavement and spill over the edges.
After really strong winds there are often small twigs and branches interspersed with the carpet of leaves. Even with my cane, clearing the pathway to the firm surface underneath is difficult. I try to think that the leaves are less of a challenge than the snow that will come next.
Lyle likes the fall and encouraged me to stand in front of the tree in the picture below. The leaves were a blaze of colour. I tell myself to enjoy this golden and brilliant display of nature while it lasts.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
