Either brown or green




This is our fall. It was 85 degrees just four days ago and the girls were swimming. The water was just cool enough that they had to keep on the move. In and out of the 70 degree water. It was sunny and nice.

Today was the first real feel of the new season. I have yet to see leaves in any colors other than brown or green. But they are falling, and falling and falling. I think all the raking I did today qualifies as an official workout too, right! :) Keith and I have decided mowing this yard negates the need for a gym membership. The picture of the leaf piles shows only half the back yard and the front is equal in size. We've been told it takes until January for all the trees to be completely bare.
We enjoyed a nice rain this evening with a fire burning in the fireplace. It was just right to take the little chill out of the house. Hope everyone is enjoying this harvest season. I saw pictures that my friend took just about an hour from us and the colors were just amazing.

I get so frustrated when I rake the leaves and they fall again so soon! :)
