Fall Leaves

Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
fluttering from the autumn tree.
Emily Bronte

Our maple tree in all its splendor!
I'm loving today.  The wind blew and the first thick layer of leaves now cover the ground.  Although I have a cold in this unseasonably warm weather, I was anxious to rake the leaves.  
There are times when I dread raking leaves, but when the weather is beautiful and the air stands still, this can be a wonderful activity.  Thankfully fall leaves no longer require bagging.  Instead they are gathered, collected, and composted as part of our city service.  Gotta love Green Living!
